FDA (Devices) recall action 84544
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 4 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 4 pages.
Slow degradation of plastic insulation used in the PSU DC plug of the DIGORA Optime, Scan eXam, Express, GXPS-500 systems may result in short circuiting which may cause heating and melting. The melting may generate smoke and eventually cause the PSU to fail.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
