Agfa N.V. is recalling 541 units of the DX-D 100 Digital Radiography mobile X-ray system due to a defect in the steel cable located inside the mobile column. This cable supports the weight of the telescopic arm and the tube head; an internal interference may prevent the safety backup system from engaging if the cable snaps. If the cable were to fail and the safety system did not work, the heavy X-ray arm could fall unexpectedly, potentially striking and injuring a patient or healthcare provider. This recall affects models 5411/ 050, A5411/ 0300, and A5411/ 0400.
A mechanical interference inside the device column can cause the secondary safety system to fail. If the primary support cable breaks, the telescopic arm and X-ray tube head may fall without being blocked, posing a direct impact or crushing risk to patients beneath the equipment.
