SEDECAL SA is recalling approximately 851 MobileDiagnost wDR mobile X-ray systems because cleaning or disinfecting the device with excessive liquid can cause a short circuit in the positioning control button. This defect can lead to the heavy medical equipment moving on its own in a slow, forward circular motion without operator input. This recall affects five specific model numbers (712001, 712002, 712004, 712006, and 712007) distributed nationwide across the United States. Owners should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for further instructions regarding system maintenance and potential repairs.
A short circuit in the fine positioning button, caused by liquid ingress, can trigger unintended motorized movement of the system. This poses a risk of collision or entrapment for patients and staff if the device moves unexpectedly during a procedure or while being cleaned.
Correction through updated cleaning instructions and contact with manufacturer.
