Toshiba INFX-8000H Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems Recalled for Ceiling Drive Defect

Toshiba is recalling two INFX-8000H Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems because fastening bolts on the ceiling drive loosened, causing the device to disable during operation.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is a mechanical failure (loosened bolts) that disabled the device, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported or is theoretical.
