CLINICAL LASERTHERMIA SYSTEMS AB is recalling Tranberg MR Stylet devices (lot IDs 116540030718 and 116540201117) because single-use units labeled as sterile may not have been adequately sterilized, creating infection risk.
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 an FDA Class II recall of a medical device used in invasive therapeutic procedures. The hazard—inadequate sterilization—presents a significant risk of infection, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source. This meets the criterion for High: a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
