What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 is a Class II device recall for blood pressure cuffs that could provide inaccurate measurements. No injuries have been reported, but the potential for inaccuracy in a critical medical device represents a risk-of-harm product that meets the threshold for a High severity rating.
