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 FDA Class II medical device recall involves a potential structural defect (compromised metal mounting box) with risk of mechanical component failure and fragment expulsion. No injuries have been reported, but the hazard meets the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
