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 FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The source does not report any actual injuries or illnesses, only a manufacturing defect that may prevent proper device function. A functional defect in a medical device intended for vascular access presents risk of harm even without reported incidents, meeting the High criterion.
