The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, which establishes a minimum severity floor of 4. The software anomalies create potential for serious patient harm through medication dosing errors.
