Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a medical device with a potential structural defect. While the hazard involves risk of malfunction during intraoperative use and no injuries have been reported, the device is used in surgical procedures where malfunction could impact patient care, fitting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
