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 high-risk medical device used for cardiopulmonary bypass where power or communication failures could lead to harm, but the source text does not explicitly report injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
