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: FDA Class II medical device recall. No illnesses or injuries reported, making the hazard theoretical. However, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product (potential x-ray initiation failure in critical diagnostic equipment) where injury has not yet been reported, warranting a High severity score per rubric criteria.
