Responsible Entity Carestream Health Australia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Carestream Health Australia Pty Ltd has received advice that there were five incidents overseas where an early failure of the device occurred where pivot/bracket of the arm broke allowing the arm to drop to 90°.The failure is not immediate and would be noted by the user as part of the routine maintenance inspection, before the arm can fall. Should the arm fall, there is a risk of injury by impact to the patient or user.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions To address this issue, a service engineer will attend the customer site, make a detailed inspection and install a bracket modification/replacement kit to address the problem. In the interim, customers are recommended to undertake regular inspections of their units to ensure that the arm has not failed. This action has been closed-out on 01/02/2016.
