This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 structural defect with potential for user injury. The backrest detachment hazard creates real risk of falls, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported. Per the severity rubric, unimplemented risk-of-harm in medical devices scores High (3).
