GE Healthcare Optima XR220amx Mobile Radiography System: Column Safety Bolt Risk
GE Healthcare recalls Optima XR220amx mobile radiography systems with missing safety bolts that could cause arm drop if internal cable fails.
Use caution until it’s fixed
GE HealthCare has become aware that in certain Optima XR200/220/240amx systems that have had a column replacement performed, some bolts used in the Column Safety mechanism can be missing. If these bolts are missing and a failure of the internal counterpoise cable occurs, the Column Safety mechanism will not work properly causing the arm with X-ray tube and collimator to drop downward on the column track.
