Medical Device Recall: X-Ray Detector Drive Shaft May Break

The FDA is recalling 32 X-ray detector units due to a potential drive shaft failure that could cause uncontrolled detector movement. Affected units are distributed in 10 US states.

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 recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves potential mechanical failure of the drive shaft without any reported injuries or hospitalizations, meeting the criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'

Plain-English summary

The FDA has issued a recall of 32 units of the Intelli-C Right side suspended Tabletop X-ray detector component (REF: 03400000) manufactured by NRT X-RAY A/S. The recall is due to a potential defect in the drive shaft that controls the detector's up/down movement.

If the drive shaft breaks, the detector may continue moving until it reaches the mechanical end-stop, potentially posing a safety risk to operators and patients during use.

The affected units are identified by UDI-DI 05713464000527 and specific serial numbers (627004, 627007, 639001, 639002, 639003, 639004, 639007, 639010, 647001, 647004, 647005, 648001, 651007, 658002, 658003, 658006, 658010, 666008, 675001, 675004, 682006, 682010).
