What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I medical device recall involving a manufacturing defect in a critical cardiac surgical component. The recall criteria mandate that FDA Class I recalls should never score below 4. Although no illnesses or deaths have been reported, the potential for serious harm during aortic root cannulation procedures justifies the Severe classification.
