Recall Insight

This recall's affected scope, documented in the Recall Profile below, stays within a single-region or limited-distribution footprint. Distribution scope (see Distribution below) directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

Within the same product category the archive holds 6 closely related recalls, 6 from FDA Devices - clustering in a narrow category often points to a systemic quality-control or supplier issue rather than a one-off defect. Always verify the recall number against the official agency record before acting.

Product description

TRINIAS for diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures in cardiac angiography, neurovascular angiography, abdominal angiography, peripheral angiography, rotational angiography, multi-purpose angiography and whole body radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures.

Reason for recall

Two issues: Event 1: Normal operation of the device is to power up the device in the morning, register the first patient, and then perform a fluoroscopy. If, however, the user powers up the device in the morning and makes an error by starting a fluoroscopy while the first patient is still being registered, the device application will abnormally terminate and require service intervention before it can be used again. This event will not occur after the first patient procedure. Event 2: In rare cases a synchronization error may occur in the data transmission circuit in the device due to external noise. The visibility of the displayed image may be corrupted (images become bit-shifted abnormal images). If this event occurs, it may become difficult to see the object, which may hinder the examination and treatment.
