Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Plain-English summary

The O-arm O2 Imaging System is a mobile x-ray device used for 2D fluoroscopic and 3D imaging in surgical settings for both adult and pediatric patients. Medtronic Navigation, Inc. has issued a Class II recall for 20 units.
