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 a Class II medical device recall involving inability to verify sterilization requirements. Sterilization assurance failures represent a high-risk hazard for patient safety. However, no illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported to date, so the hazard remains theoretical.
