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 an FDA Class II medical device recall for a functional defect in a hemodialysis system component. A loose blood pump rotor poses a risk of treatment interruption or complications in a life-sustaining dialysis device. While no patient illnesses or injuries are reported in the source material, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
