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: FDA Class II medical device recall with a manufacturing defect affecting connector housing. No reported illnesses or injuries, but the visible gap represents a risk-of-harm to medical device function and sterility in a healthcare setting, meeting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
