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 potential breach of the sterile barrier on a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
