Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving a risk-of-harm product—medication dispensing errors in automated systems could lead to serious patient harm. However, no illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported, so per the rubric criteria for High severity, the score is 3 rather than Severe.
