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 high-risk medical device (ICD) where the hazard is the use of unapproved software, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
