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 recall involves a patient monitoring device with a functional failure that could delay detection of patient condition changes. The device failure presents a concrete risk of patient harm through delayed clinical response, yet no illnesses or injuries have been reported. This fits the criterion of a risk-of-harm medical device without reported injury.
