Best Theratronics Cabinet X-Ray Systems Recalled for Performance Non-Compliance
Best Theratronics is recalling 128 cabinet x-ray systems used to irradiate blood products because they failed to comply with performance standards.
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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. As no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the issue is a performance standard compliance failure rather than a direct acute hazard like a fire or pathogen, a Moderate severity is appropriate.
