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.

However, non-sterile surgical instruments present a significant risk of infection to surgical patients, meeting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product without yet-reported injury.
