Hologic Inc. is recalling 2,642 units of Horizon X-Ray Bone Densitometer (DXA) systems, including models Horizon-A, W, WI, C, and CI, because they do not meet international safety standards for electromagnetic compatibility. These medical devices, used to measure bone density, exceeded limits for electrical emissions, which could potentially interfere with the performance of other nearby medical equipment. While 1,037 units were distributed in the United States, thousands more were sold globally between 2023 and 2024. Consumers and healthcare providers should contact the manufacturer to determine if their specific serial number is affected and to receive further instructions.
The system failed to meet technical safety standards for electromagnetic performance, meaning it could emit electrical signals that interfere with the essential performance of other critical medical electrical equipment in the same environment. This interference could lead to incorrect readings or failures in nearby life-supporting or monitoring devices.
