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 recall with potential sterility assurance level impact. No illnesses or injuries reported, but risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported. Sterility failure in medical devices poses significant risk of post-operative infections.
