Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving a structural/mechanical defect (internal fastening mechanism failure) in diagnostic imaging equipment. The source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, but the potential for the generator component to fail creates a risk of harm in a device used for patient imaging.
