EOS Imaging Recalls EOS System X-ray Digital Radiography Devices

EOS Imaging is recalling 22 EOS System X-ray digital radiography units installed in the US due to a discrepancy between the operator-set collimation and the actual X-ray beam collimation.

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: The recall involves a medical device with a functional defect affecting X-ray beam collimation, which poses a risk of harm (incorrect exposure or imaging) even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

EOS Imaging is recalling 22 EOS System X-ray digital radiography units installed in the United States. The recall was initiated after the manufacturer discovered during internal production testing that the X-ray beam collimation set by the operator at the user interface differs from the actual collimation of the X-ray beam operated by the system during acquisition.

The affected devices are used for general radiographic examinations. The discrepancy in collimation settings means the X-ray beam may not match the parameters intended by the operator. The recall is distributed nationwide.

Consumers and healthcare facilities with these devices should contact EOS Imaging for further instructions on how to address the issue.
