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 FDA Class II recall involves a sterile medical device used in spinal surgery that may not have been adequately sterilized. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the hazard creates a significant risk of harm, qualifying it as high-severity.
