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: FDA Class II recall of a critical medical device (intravascular catheter) with potential for functional defect (leaks in catheter or tubing). No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed, making this a risk-of-harm product without reported injury.
