What Happened
FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation has initiated a voluntary recall of its FDR Visionary Suite X-ray systems. The recall was prompted by the discovery that electromagnetic contactors within the X-ray high-voltage generator cabinet could become welded. This defect allows electrical current to continue flowing to the power supply circuit even after the device has been turned off. This continuous current can lead to overheating of the circuit, damage to surrounding components, and the potential emission of smoke.
