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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall, which per the rubric mandates a minimum severity score of 4. While no illnesses or injuries are explicitly reported in the source text, tip separation from an angiographic catheter during a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure represents a significant risk of harm in an invasive medical device context.
