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: This is a Class II FDA recall of a medical device used in invasive procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard—non-sterility due to open packaging seals—represents a potential risk of harm with sterile diagnostic equipment, meeting the criterion for Score 3 (High).
