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 medical device recall involving a risk-of-harm situation—a critical implanted device with potential premature failure. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the hazard is significant enough to warrant regulatory action. The theoretical risk to patients' health justifies a High severity designation.
