Plain-English summary
Agfa N.V. is recalling 13 units of the AGFA Digital Radiography X-Ray system DR 800 with MUSICA Dynamic (Type number: 6010/200). The recall affects specific serial numbers: 0925, 0945, 0948, 0949, 1003, 1022, 1116, 1136, 1161, 1229, 1239, 1401, and 1404. These units were distributed nationwide in the United States, including in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The recall is due to a potential software defect where the system may incorrectly calculate the dose per minute for fluoroscopy exams. This error can occur under specific conditions: during a fluoroscopic exam, when the automatic brightness stabilization (ABS) is turned off, and when parameters are manually changed. The DR 800 system is indicated for dynamic imaging examinations such as positioning fluoroscopy, gastro-intestinal examinations, urogenital tract examinations, and angiography, as well as project radiography of all body parts, but is not intended for mammography.
Healthcare facilities and users should contact Agfa N.V. for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this defect.
