What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a software malfunction that terminates examinations, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported or is theoretical.
