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 is a Class II FDA recall of a risk-of-harm medical device with an unevaluated intended use. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the severity rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported score 3 (High), as the regulatory non-compliance with an unevaluated use presents potential risk despite no reported actual harm.
