Plain-English summary

Agfa Corp. is recalling 17 units of the CR MD1.0 General Set, x-ray imager image plate (CR 10-X Image Plate 35CM X 43CM). These image plates are contained in X-Ray cassettes and are used to capture images from X-Ray exposures. The recalled units are identified by Batch No. A2KQMW.

The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically in the states of Alabama, California, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, and Utah. Healthcare facilities that received these specific image plates should stop using them and contact Agfa Corp. for further instructions.
