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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a procedural failure (inability to collapse the valve) which poses a risk of harm during a medical procedure, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or fatalities, placing it in the 'High' severity category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
