The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA classified this as a Class I recall for medical devices. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls must receive a minimum severity score of 4. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source, potential non-sterility in medical irrigation solutions used in clinical procedures represents a serious infection risk.
