Plain-English summary
The GM85 Digital Mobile X-ray Imaging System, model GM85, from NeuroLogica, is being recalled.
The four M5 bolts that secure the Tube Head Unit to the end of the arm may loosen or fracture due to metal fatigue.
The recall covers 236 units carrying UDI-DI 08806088582412, distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China Mainland and the Czech Republic. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
The tube head is the heavy component at the end of the arm, so bolt failure creates a risk of it moving or falling. The enforcement record reports no injuries. Sites operating an affected system should follow the firm's instructions.
