The hazard

GovInfoNow's records show the recall is due to a weld protrusion or physical gap between the housing and pack cover that may exceed design specifications. This defect could lead to priming cycle failure or suboptimal vacuum delivery during surgery, potentially resulting in surgical delay, longer surgical time, or transient corneal edema.
