Plain-English summary

Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation is recalling approximately 130 mobile x-ray systems from its FDR D-EVO2 family of digital x-ray detectors. These devices are distributed nationwide and worldwide.

When the key switch is turned on, the x-ray exposure conditions default to parameters intended for adult chest imaging: 85 kV, 1.6 mAs, and approximately 0.13 mGy at a 1-meter source-to-image distance. Additionally, if a technician configures exposure settings using the console while the key switch is off, those custom settings will not be reflected when the device is powered on. This means the system may deliver radiation exposure levels that are inappropriate for the patient being imaged or the body part being examined.

Healthcare facilities using these devices should verify that exposure settings are properly configured before each use. Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation is providing guidance to customers. No injuries or illnesses have been reported related to this issue.
