Canon Medical's INFX-8000F X-ray system may display abnormal horizontal stripe patterns due to a manufacturing change in the flat panel detector's internal board, potentially preventing exam completion.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported injuries. The manufacturing defect impairs diagnostic imaging and may necessitate repeat X-ray examinations, raising concern for diagnostic delays and additional radiation exposure.
Plain-English summary
Canon Medical System's INFX-8000F, a fluoroscopic and fluorographic X-ray system, is being recalled due to a manufacturing change made by supplier VAREX to the internal board of the X-ray flat panel detector. This change has resulted in systems displaying abnormal images, including horizontal stripe patterns.
When this defect occurs, it may prevent the radiologist or technician from completing an ongoing diagnostic examination. If the equipment fails to produce adequate images, the patient may need to be re-examined using another X-ray system, resulting in additional radiation exposure and diagnostic delay.
Two units with affected serial numbers BGE2292016 and BGE2362017 have been distributed in California and Louisiana. Affected facilities should contact Canon Medical System, USA, INC. for instructions on board replacement or system servicing.
