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 a Class II medical device recall for an endotracheal tube fastener where decreased adhesion could lead to tube migration—a serious patient safety issue in airway management. However, the source reports no actual patient illnesses or injuries, only the potential risk. Per the severity rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score at most 3 (High).
