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, but the source text describes a software calculation error regarding dose display without reporting any patient injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity issue.

Plain-English summary

Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc is recalling 23 units of the Angio WorkStation (Model XIDF-AWS801) and INFX-8000V Bi-Plane System. The affected software versions are v6.00, v6.01, and V6.10. These devices were distributed to facilities in North Carolina, New York, Texas, Georgia, California, Arizona, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, and Delaware.

The recall was initiated because the software incorrectly calculated the Peak Skin Dose (PSD) value. This error occurred when the x-ray conditions for the frontal and lateral planes were identical. In these instances, the system displayed a PSD value larger than expected because it incorrectly used a dose value from a previous exposure in the calculation.

Facilities using these systems should contact Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc for instructions on how to resolve the software issue. The recall is limited to the specific software versions and model numbers listed above.
