Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Canon Medical System, USA, INC. This device is a digital radiography/fluoroscopy recall: It has been found that when SPOT Fluoro is first turned

Recall published 1+ years ago

It has been found that when SPOT Fluoro is first turned on, the default ROI is selected and the collimator blades move to the boundary of the ROI, and the static image is overlayed around the ROI, covering the collimated area. If the customer changes the ROI, the collimator blades and static images are adjusted accordingly. However, when the acquisition program is changed, the collimator returns to the default ROI position which may be larger than the specified one, leaving the X-ray area partially covered by the static image. This is a software problem with the SPOT Fluoro program and will not occur if the function is not used.

The hazard: Device safety concern

The manufacturer or the FDA identified a problem with this device. The model, lot and catalogue numbers are what define the scope.

Who pays for a device recall

The manufacturer funds the remedy. The practical question is usually which link in the chain executes it.

  • If a clinic fitted or supplied the device, start there — they hold the serial-number records the manufacturer needs.
  • Ask for written confirmation that the remedy was applied to your serial number. That is what an insurer or a future clinician will want to see.
  • If you bought it yourself online or from a pharmacy, go to the manufacturer’s recall page rather than the retailer; device claims are handled centrally.
  • Where the remedy is a software update, there is nothing to claim, but do confirm the version changed afterwards.
