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: This is a Class II medical device recall involving risk-of-harm in a surgical setting (components falling into the surgical site with bio-incompatibility risk).
