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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (implantable cardiac device) where a device reset could impact therapy, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical risk without reported harm.
