These devices are capable of routine radiograph and general fluoroscopy procedures. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
The recall follows an injury incident caused by a chain of four faults. First, an injured person overcame a physical barrier (a tabletop support arm approximately 60 cm high) to access a prohibited area not intended as a working position. Second, the device labeling and instructions for use did not explicitly exclude this prohibited area. Third, the movement was activated inadvertently and continuously, and it was not released, despite requiring continuous activation. Fourth, there was a delayed activation of the emergency stop.
The affected units were distributed in the United States, including in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin. Users should contact Villa Radiology Systems LLC for further instructions on the recall.
