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 recall for a risk-of-harm medical device where injury has not yet been reported. The potential for metal shavings to cause embolism requiring surgical intervention represents a serious but theoretical risk for hemodialysis and apheresis patients.
