Canon Medical Ultimax-i Imager Processor Recalled for Image Transfer Errors
Canon Medical System is recalling 11 Ultimax-i Imager Processors because images transferred to archival systems may not match the number originally acquired.
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 temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The source text describes a data integrity issue (image count mismatch) without reporting any patient injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
