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.

Plain-English summary

The FDA has issued a Class II recall of the Intelli-C Left side suspended Tabletop (REF: 03400010) manufactured by NRT X-RAY A/S. This tabletop is a component used in X-ray diagnostic imaging equipment.

There is a potential that the drive shaft in the detector up/down movement mechanism may break. If the drive shaft fails, the detector could move unexpectedly until it is stopped by the movement end-stop. This could result in unintended movement of the equipment during diagnostic procedures.

The recall affects 13 units distributed nationwide in the following states: Ohio, North Carolina, Kentucky, South Carolina, Iowa, Massachusetts, Washington, Louisiana, Nevada, and New York. Affected serial numbers are 647009, 651002, 651006, 666009, and 682003.

Healthcare facilities with affected equipment should contact NRT X-RAY A/S or the FDA for guidance on whether their specific unit is affected and what remedial actions to take.
