Flat Panel Detector May Display Abnormal Images During Surgical Procedures
Canon Medical's flat panel detectors used in Alphenix surgical systems may display abnormal horizontal stripes and fail to recover by restarting, potentially causing operators to work without proper visual guidance during procedures.
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 with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard is a risk-of-harm product where serious injury (blood vessel damage) has not yet been reported, fitting the rubric criterion for Score 3 (High).
Plain-English summary
Canon Medical System, USA, INC. is recalling eight Flat Panel Detector Model TFP-800A units used with Alphenix surgical imaging systems. These detectors may display abnormal images with horizontal stripes or fail to display proper images, and may not recover when the system is restarted.
When operators encounter a non-functional or degraded image display during a surgical procedure, they may inadvertently continue working without proper visual guidance. In the worst case, an operator may remove a catheter from a patient's blood vessel without adequate visualization, which could result in damage to the blood vessel.
The affected devices were distributed nationwide to healthcare facilities in Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Montana, New Jersey, Ohio, and West Virginia. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
