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 an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with a functional defect (incorrect cable causing image quality issues) that could impair proper clinical use. The grainy imaging during a critical bronchoscopy procedure represents a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the Score 3 (High) criterion.
