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 FDA Class II medical device recall involves labeling mismatch between two surgical instruments with different designs, which could result in use of an unintended product. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but mislabeling of medical devices in clinical settings represents a risk-of-harm situation.
