Z-3014-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
19 December 2025
Reason
There is a potential for formation of ice occurring in the venting system of the superconducting magnet of the MRI systems. if a quench occurs in this condition, helium gas may not be able to escape via the designed vent paths, and the pressure in the helium vessel may rise. This pressure build-up could eventually rupture the helium vessel, causing helium gas to be released into the MR scanning room.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
19 December 2025
Reason
It has been discovered that there is a possibility that the fixing screws of the ceiling movement gear in the ceiling suspended arm that are part of the X-ray interventional systems may become loose. As a result, ceiling lateral movement may no longer be possible, abnormal noise may be generated from the suspension system and a sensor error may be displayed

Z-0327-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
2 September 2025
Reason
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.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
17 September 2024
Reason

Recall number
Z-2041-2024

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
29 January 2024
Reason
For some MRI systems, it has been found that some of the maximum Spatial Field Gradient (SFG) values displayed in "System Information" of the operation window and some of the maximum SFG values described in the safety manual are lower than the correct values, which may cause a patient with an MR conditional device to feel some discomfort during the MR scan.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
15 November 2023
Reason
VAREX changed the manufacturing of the internal board, and the detectors displayed abnormal images.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
22 June 2023
Reason
