Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall for a software error in a medical device. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported. The manufacturer is proactively providing a software upgrade to reduce the incidence of an operational error.
