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: FDA Class II medical device with a confirmed component specification deviation. No injuries have been reported, but an improper component fit in a gastrointestinal endoscope constitutes a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the rubric criterion for High-level severity.
