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: Class II medical device recall with potential for sterility breach due to packaging defect. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical, potential contamination of a sterile medical device used in healthcare poses a risk of harm.
