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: Class II recall of a high-risk invasive medical device with potential sterilization failures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but non-sterile catheters pose significant risk of serious infection, matching the criterion of 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
