Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.

Why it was recalled
If, during the procedure, X-ray has been released and a reference image has been stored, the following issue may occur: If "Adjust C-arm to Ref" is activated when the C-Arm is positioned outside of the working range the C-Arm will reach the target position with an inaccuracy of 5-10 mm. As a result, the message Endposition reached will be displayed .Leading to unintended direction of the movement causing crushing of a patient, staff member, operator, or equipmen Live images may not match the previously stored reference images. Overlay images may be shown inaccurate on anatomy (e.g., DSA Roadmap workflow does not match real anatomy). This may cause e.g., a vessel perforation in DSA roadmap.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
