Plain-English summary
Ziehm Imaging Inc is recalling two units of the Ziehm Vision RFD, a mobile C-arm used for mobile fluoroscopic imaging. The recall is due to a malfunction in the radiation-warning timer and the 3D-specific interval warning.

The affected devices have serial numbers 20719 and 20721. These units were distributed in the United States, including Puerto Rico, and in the states of Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Washington.
