Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported. As a medical device where functional failure could impact patient care, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product, meeting the High severity criterion.
