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 FDA Class II recall involves a surgical instrument where parts from different lots were mixed during manufacturing rework. The potential for instrument non-conformance without reported injuries qualifies this as a 'risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported' per the severity rubric.
