X-Ray C-Arm System Internal Board Defect Causes Abnormal Images
Canon Medical System X-ray C-arm systems may display abnormal images due to an internal board manufacturing defect, potentially preventing exam completion and requiring patients to be re-examined with alternative equipment.
What this means for you
