Mirion Technologies (Capintec), Inc. is recalling approximately 3,825 units of its Captus 4000e Thyroid Uptake Systems across three different models. The recall was initiated because the collimator—a heavy component used for radiation shielding and focusing—can unexpectedly detach and fall. This issue has been reported in multiple complaints and could lead to physical injury or equipment damage. These medical devices are used in healthcare settings for thyroid uptakes, bioassays, and wipe tests, and were distributed nationwide in the U.S. and internationally.
The heavy collimator component may unexpectedly detach from the system, posing a risk of impact injuries to patients or healthcare staff during diagnostic procedures.
