AGFA Healthcare Recalls Radiomat M+ NIF Films Due to Coating Artifacts

AGFA Healthcare is recalling 142 units of Radiomat M+ NIF films because the coating may show small bright thin lines when processed.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a cosmetic artifact (bright thin line) rather than a safety hazard.
