Villa Radiology Systems Recalls Apollo DRF X-Ray Systems Due to Injury Risk

Villa Radiology Systems LLC is recalling 66 Apollo DRF multi-function x-ray systems because a chain of faults led to an injury involving inadvertent movement activation.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that an 'injured person' was involved in the incident, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury reports' under a Severe (Score 4) classification.

Plain-English summary

Villa Radiology Systems LLC is recalling 66 units of the Apollo DRF multi-function x-ray system, model 9784220831. These systems are capable of routine radiograph and general fluoroscopy procedures. The recall affects units distributed across 26 states and Puerto Rico.

The recall was initiated after an analysis determined that an incident was caused by a chain of four faults. The injured person overcame a physical barrier to access a prohibited area not intended as a working position. The device labeling and instructions for use did not explicitly exclude this prohibited area. Additionally, the movement was activated inadvertently and continuously without being released, and the emergency stop was activated with a delay.

Consumers and healthcare facilities with these devices should contact Villa Radiology Systems LLC for further instructions on the recall and corrective actions.
