Omega Medical Imaging Monitor Suspension Actuator Separation Risk

Omega Medical Imaging is recalling 52 monitor suspension systems (Part Number 1000-0085) manufactured 2012–2019 in which the actuator may separate from the pivot mechanism. An installed safety cable contained one such failure, but the structural issue poses a falling hazard. No injuries reported.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Class II medical device recall involving structural failure of a critical suspension component. The actuator separation demonstrates a risk-of-harm condition in equipment where failure could result in monitor falling and potential injury. No injuries reported to date, but actual failure occurred.

Plain-English summary

Omega Medical Imaging, Inc. is recalling 52 units of its Elevating Monitor Suspension, Model 1000-0085, used to mount and position medical imaging monitors in clinical facilities.

The company discovered that the actuator on the lower monitor boom system column can separate from its pivot mechanism and become detached. An installed safety cable restrained the detached actuator in one reported case, preventing immediate harm. However, the structural failure indicates a risk that the suspension system could fail to safely support the monitor.

The affected devices were manufactured between October 22, 2012, and July 9, 2019, and distributed worldwide, including to the United States and Pakistan. All 52 units produced during this period are included in the recall.

As of the recall announcement, no injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this issue.
