What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device where inadequate sterilization creates a risk of harm. No reported illnesses or injuries are stated in the source text, but the failure to adequately sterilize a reusable medical device presents a theoretical high-risk hazard that could lead to infection or contamination.
