SHIMADZU CORPORATION MEDICAL SYSTEMS DIVISION is recalling approximately 1,766 units of its Ceiling Type X-Ray Tube Support Models CH-200 and CH-200M. These components are used in RADspeed, SonialVision, and FLUOROspeed imaging systems to hold and position X-ray tubes. The recall was initiated because the mounting shaft for the X-ray tube assembly can break, which could cause the entire assembly to detach and fall from the rotating shaft. This equipment is used worldwide for whole-body radiographic examinations.
If the mounting shaft breaks, the X-ray tube assembly could fall unexpectedly. This poses a serious risk of impact injury to patients or medical staff who may be positioned beneath the equipment during a medical examination.
Used with RADspeed, SonialVision and FLUOROspeed Systems.
