What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall of a medical device with a hazard (thrombus formation) that poses risk of serious injury or death in a high-risk patient population undergoing cardiac support. Although no reported illnesses are stated in the source text, the serious nature of the hazard—blood clot formation during use of a critical circulatory support device—and the Class I designation require a Severe rating per the rubric.
