What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Although this is an FDA Class II recall, no illnesses, injuries, or deaths are reported. The measurement error in a diagnostic ultrasound system represents a risk of harm—incorrect measurements could lead to diagnostic errors—but without reported harm, this falls into the High category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
