What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text describes a functional defect (inability to pass a guidewire) without reporting any patient injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity rating.
