What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall. The source text describes a potential alignment error in image display functionality with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and no indication of direct patient harm. The hazard is functional rather than involving patient safety risk of bodily injury or death.
