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: The recall involves a potential compromise of the sterile barrier for a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (infection) but the source text 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.
