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.

The hazard involves potential diagnostic errors due to incorrect image display or loss, which is a significant quality issue but does not involve direct physical injury or death, fitting the Moderate category for non-physical device defects.

Plain-English summary

Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc is recalling 95 units of the Toshiba Infinix-i X-Ray System. These are radiographic and fluoroscopic x-ray systems used for diagnostic and angiographic procedures. The units were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The recall is due to a software error that may occur when using the "F-Rec" fluoroscopy image acquisition recording option in "manual mode." This infrequent error may cause images from a different study to be displayed on the monitor. Additionally, acquired images may be lost, which may require additional image acquisitions to be performed.

No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text, but the recall affects 95 specific units identified by serial number and manufacture date. Healthcare facilities should verify their equipment against the provided serial number list to determine if their units are affected.
