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 an FDA Class II device recall involving potential sterilization failure—a risk-of-harm condition where improper sterilization on medical devices could lead to infection or adverse outcomes. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the hazard is not merely theoretical; it is a documented process failure affecting actual distributed units.
