What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 (medical software) where injury or misdiagnosis has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical harm without confirmed incidents.
