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: This is a Class II medical device with potential sterility compromise—a risk-of-harm product where serious infection could result from non-sterile conditions during vascular interventions. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical, placing it at the High severity level per the rubric.
