What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that could lead to improper needle trajectory and navigation failure. This fits the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Imactis is recalling the Patient Fiducial (Patient Referential) component, used in conjunction with the ImactisCT-Navigation Workstation. The recall involves 6 Navigation Systems distributed nationwide in the United States, including Florida and Wisconsin.

The recall was initiated after the firm received reports that the patient fiducial disk separated from the body. Users subsequently attempted to re-assemble the device. The use of a re-assembled patient fiducial could lead to an inability to navigate or result in inaccuracies, such as improper needle trajectory.

Healthcare providers and users should stop using the affected components immediately. Imactis is the recalling firm for this Class II recall.
