CanadaFDR Visionary Suite X‑ray diagnostic equipment (serial number and model MP95A9E9C001) is affected. The contacts of electromagnetic contactors inside the X‑ray high‑voltage generator may weld so current can continue after power is cut, possibly causing the circuit to overheat, damage surrounding parts, and produce smoke.

The hazard
Potential safety issue with the X-ray high voltage generator incorporated into the FDR Visionary Suite X-ray diagnostic equipment. It was found that the contacts of the electromagnetic contactors used inside the cabinet of the X-ray high-voltage generator may weld, and the current might continue to be supplied to the power supply circuit even if the power of the device is cut off. As a result, it is possible that the circuit in question overheats and damages the surrounding parts. It may also cause smoke.
