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. The hazard involves data loss and operational interruption rather than direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Canon Medical System, USA, INC. is recalling one unit of the Canon Aquilion One Vision, Model TSX-301C, Whole-Body X-Ray CT Scanner. The recall is limited to the device with serial number 3DC18Y2118.
