Mobile X-ray System Structural Cable Defect Affects Safety Function
Agfa DX-D 100 mobile X-ray systems have a structural cable defect in the support column that may prevent the safety mechanism from blocking the arm if the cable fails, potentially resulting in patient injury.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a structural safety defect in medical equipment. The recall fits the 'risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported' criterion. No hospitalizations or injuries have been reported, but the cable defect creates potential for patient harm.
Plain-English summary
The Agfa DX-D 100 system is a mobile digital radiography X-ray system used in clinical settings to generate projection X-ray images of patients. The system consists of an X-ray console, generator, tube, digital detector, and workstation, with a mobile column supporting a telescopic arm that holds the tube head.
The recall addresses a structural defect in the steel cable installed inside the mobile column. This cable is responsible for supporting the weight of the telescopic arm and tube head. An interference in the cable assembly could prevent the safety system from functioning properly. This safety system is designed to block or secure the arm if the cable becomes cut or severed, preventing the arm and tube head from falling.
The risk is that if the cable fails and the safety mechanism does not activate due to the interference, the telescopic arm could move or fall unexpectedly, potentially resulting in patient injury. The defect affects 541 units distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and in Canada, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
