Hazard
13 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 13 imaging defect recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all imaging defect recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
GE Healthcare CT systems have a technical issue causing progressive image rotation during helical and cardiac scans. No injuries reported, but unnoticed rotation could affect diagnosis or require rescans.
Canon Medical System X-ray C-arm systems may display abnormal images due to an internal board manufacturing defect, potentially preventing exam completion and requiring patients to be re-examined with alternative equipment.
A shoulder glenoid prosthesis implant (SMR TT Hybrid Std - Peg S) was manufactured without tantalum markers that aid in radiographic visualization. While alternative assessment methods using joint space, peg position, and cement observation remain available, the missing markers limit direct imaging capabilities.
GE Healthcare's SIGNA Architect MRI system may fail to generate complete image slices under certain software conditions, resulting in gaps within 3D volume images that could affect diagnostic imaging integrity.
GE Healthcare recalls 18 SIGNA Artist MRI systems with a software defect that may cause missing image slices, creating gaps in 3D scans that could affect diagnostic accuracy.
GE Healthcare is recalling 11 SIGNA Premier MRI systems. Under certain conditions, software versions RX29.1 and RX27.3 can cause missing slices in 3D imaging, creating gaps in anatomical data clinicians use for diagnosis.
GE Healthcare's SIGNA Creator and SIGNA Explorer MRI systems may produce incomplete 3D images due to missing slices in software version DV29.1. Missing anatomical information could impact diagnostic accuracy.
GE Healthcare is recalling Optima MR450w 1.5T MRI systems due to a software issue in version DV29.1 that may cause missing image slices, creating gaps in 3D scans that could affect diagnostic accuracy.
GE Healthcare is recalling the 1.5T SIGNA HDxt MR System due to a software issue that may cause missing slices in 3D volume images. Three devices distributed across the United States and internationally are affected.
Medline Industries is recalling Cardiac Pack - LF kits because the cylindrical sponge component is not x-ray detectable. The affected units were distributed only in Canada.
Kentec Medical Inc is recalling specific lots of polyurethane ENFit nasogastric feeding tubes for pediatric and neonatal use because the radiopaque stripes are inadequately detectable.
Kentec Medical Inc is recalling specific lots of Polyurethane ENFit Ameritus NG Feeding Tubes because the radiopaque stripes may be inadequately detectable.
Xoran Technologies is recalling 432 MiniCAT X-ray imaging devices nationwide due to out-of-tolerance kVp, unexposed frames, and out-of-tolerance dose.
