Medtronic O-arm Imaging System Recalled for Labeling Compliance Gaps

Medtronic is recalling O-arm Imaging Systems because a review found gaps in compliance with FDA labeling requirements for user information.

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 and involves a labeling compliance gap (21 CFR 1020.30(h)) rather than a physical defect or reported injury, fitting the 'Moderate' criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
