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 risk-of-harm medical device (spinal implant used in invasive procedures) where sterilization failure could lead to serious infection. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, the potential for significant harm from non-sterile spinal implants justifies a High severity rating.
