Plain-English summary
Shimadzu Corporation Medical Systems Division is recalling Over-Head Ceiling Tube Support models CH-200 and CH-200M. These ceiling-mounted tube supports are used with various X-ray and imaging equipment including RadSpeed, Sonial Vision, and FluoroSpeed units. A total of 1,836 units have been distributed nationwide in the United States.
Eight fixing bolts at the base of the X-ray ceiling tube column assembly may be loose or missing. This condition creates a risk that the device could fall, potentially causing injury to staff or patients and damage to equipment in the vicinity.
The recall affects medical facilities that have installed these ceiling tube support systems, particularly those using the specified radiological equipment models. No injuries or accidents have been reported at this time.
Shimadzu is implementing service to address this issue. Affected facilities should contact the company for service that will install a cable, bracket, and label behind the bracket to indicate when service is required. This installation will eliminate the risk of the device falling.
