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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where the hazard is theoretical (inadequate sterilization validation) and no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
