The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

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: This is an FDA Class II recall of a sterile medical device with a defect (incomplete seal) that could compromise sterility and create a risk of contamination-related harm. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, making it ineligible for the Severe (4) category, but the potential for patient harm from a compromised sterile barrier justifies a High (3) rating.
