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 recall with no reported injuries or hospitalizations. The hazard is functional failure of diagnostic medical equipment that could impact patient care, but no actual harm has been reported. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
