GE HealthCare is recalling 454 Optima XR200amx, XR220amx, and XR240amx Mobile Digital Radiographic Systems. The recall affects units that have undergone a column replacement, as some bolts in the Column Safety mechanism may be missing. If the main support cable fails while these bolts are missing, the arm holding the X-ray tube can fall suddenly. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.
A missing safety bolt prevents the backup mechanism from catching the X-ray arm if the primary support cable snaps. This failure causes the heavy arm and imaging equipment to drop down the column track, posing a significant risk of impact or crushing injuries to patients or medical staff beneath the device.
