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: FDA Class II medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—inadequate seam barrier in probe covers—poses a potential risk to patient safety during diagnostic ultrasound procedures, but the risk remains theoretical with no documented adverse events.
