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 I medical device recall. However, the source text contains no reports of actual injury or illness, and the hazard is prospective (catheter 'may allow' entrapment). Per the rubric, Class I recalls without reported harm and theoretical hazards are capped at score 3.
