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 medical device with a potential defect that could impact patient safety, but the source text does not report any specific injuries, illnesses, or FDA Class I classification, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
