What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum severity of Severe. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential for reduced or no-energy output during therapy in an implanted life-critical device justifies this classification.
