Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a risk-of-harm scenario (missed diagnoses) where the severity is elevated due to the clinical consequence of false negatives in respiratory diagnostics, but with no reported adverse outcomes yet.
