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 recall involving sterile surgical devices where calibration defects create a potential risk to sterility assurance level. Although no reported injuries or illnesses are stated in the source, the theoretical risk involves exposure of surgical instruments to compromised sterilization—a high-risk scenario for patient harm in surgical settings.
