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 an FDA Class II medical device recall where a manufacturing defect prevents proper device function during a critical clinical procedure. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, the risk-of-harm nature of a guidewire passage obstruction during an interventional vascular procedure justifies a High severity rating.
