The affected systems are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic and rotational images of human anatomy for cardiovascular, vascular, and non-vascular diagnostic and interventional procedures. The recall includes two units in the United States (Pennsylvania and Tennessee) and two units outside the United States (France and Singapore).
