NRT X-RAY A/S is recalling 35 units of the Intelli-C X-ray system tabletops due to a mechanical and software defect that can cause the heavy C-arm to move uncontrollably. This issue occurs when specific firmware settings are combined with hardware wear, particularly when the machine is operated at maximum speed and steep angles. If the emergency stop is activated during these conditions, the arm may fail to stop correctly, potentially striking the patient or the medical operator. The recall includes both Right side (REF 03400000) and Left side (REF 03400010) suspended tabletops.
A faulty firmware setting in the motor controller can fail to compensate for wear in the motor and gear assembly, leading to a loss of control over the C-arm's movement. This creates a collision hazard where the heavy medical equipment could hit a patient lying on the table or medical staff standing nearby, causing physical injury.
Firmware update and mechanical inspection.
