Mirion Technologies (Capintec), Inc. is recalling 467 Captus 4000e Thyroid Uptake Systems due to potential spring arm failure. This defect can cause the heavy collimator component to fall suddenly to its lowest point, which could lead to physical injury for the patient or the medical professional operating the device. These systems are used in medical settings to perform thyroid uptake procedures and were distributed across the United States and several international locations.
The spring arm that supports the system's collimator can fail, causing the heavy component to drop without warning. This poses a direct impact and crushing risk to anyone positioned beneath or near the device during a medical procedure.
