To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 7 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.

The 0-arm Imaging System is compatible with certain Image Guided Surgery Systems.

Reason for Recall

The 0-arm 1000 Imaging System uses energy from the batteries to generate X-rays and move the system. If a charger board is not functioning properly, the batteries will not receive a full recharge of the potential capacity and results in the inability of the system to take X-rays, open the gantry, and move the system from one place to another, which may affect the ability to continue use within the operating room until the charger board and/or the batteries are replaced
