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: The recall involves a Class II medical device where the hazard is a high-risk pathogen (infection) with potential for serious harm to a vulnerable population (neonates), but no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The source text states only the theoretical risk of infection if non-sterile product is used.
