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 involves a medical device with a mechanical defect that could lead to injury or device failure, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
