Ziehm Vision RFD C-Arm X-Ray System Recalled for Emergency Switch Change

Ziehm Imaging Inc is recalling 27 Ziehm Vision RFD C-Arm Interventional Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems because an engineering change made the emergency switch an optional component rather than standard.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly describes the issue as a 'minor non-conformity' and the agency classification is Class II. There are no reports of injury, illness, or death, and the hazard is a configuration change rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural failure.
