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: This is FDA Class II equipment with no reported hospitalizations or injuries to date. However, it involves a critical cardiac support device where a loose component could pose significant risk to patients during heart surgery. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
