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 risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical guidewire) where packaging seal breach could compromise sterility. The recall notice does not report any illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical (sterility 'may be' compromised), meeting the rubric criterion for High severity: risk-of-harm products where injury has not been reported.
