What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (un-commanded movement of medical equipment) that could cause injury, with no injuries reported in the source text. The FDA classified this as Class II; the hazard is clear but impacts are theoretical rather than confirmed.

Plain-English summary

Sedecal SA is recalling 155 Soltus Battery Mobile X-Ray Systems (models Soltus 450 and Soltus 500) due to a potential for un-commanded movement of the mobile x-ray unit. These diagnostic x-ray systems have been distributed to healthcare facilities across multiple U.S. states including Kentucky, Wisconsin, Florida, Delaware, West Virginia, California, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, and many others.

The un-commanded movement poses a safety risk to patients and healthcare workers who may be in proximity to the equipment. Healthcare facilities in possession of these systems should immediately discontinue their use.

Affected units can be identified by their specific serial numbers and UDI codes provided by Sedecal SA. Facilities should verify whether their systems match the recalled serial numbers and UDI codes listed in the FDA recall notice and contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to proceed.
