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 requires a minimum severity score of 4. While no deaths or hospitalizations are reported in the source, the risk of connector disconnection on a critical respiratory device during patient care justifies a Severe rating.
