What the authority reported
In 2023, three Captus® 4000e systems incurred a spring arm failure, causing the arm to fall. The collimator and arm, together, weigh 45 lbs (20.4 kg), which carries a risk of injury if the collimator comes into contact with the technologist or the patient. Recall start date: November 26, 2023
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
