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 device recall. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical based on potential exposure to improper storage conditions, the device's function in clinical diagnostics means that inaccurate results could have clinical consequences.
