Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves inadequate sterilization validation, which poses a risk of harm (infection) to patients, but the source does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
