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 risk-of-harm product (medical diagnostic) where inaccurate results could lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
