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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a high-risk medical device (implanted pacemaker/ICD) where the risk of harm is theoretical due to unvalidated manufacturing processes, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported.
