What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device. The source text does not report any actual illnesses, injuries, hospitalizations, or documented adverse events—only a potential for configuration loss and communication failure. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported harm typically score 2 (Moderate).
