Micro-X recalls specific model Rover Mobile X-ray systems due to potential unintended activation of the exposure switch during handling, risking incomplete scans. Affected units have unique serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
During internal testing it was found that if the system is Ready to expose and the hand switch is then dropped into the stowage unit such that it lands on the prep/expose switch, the prep switch can be activated for a very short time such that the orange ring of death is displayed in the tube cooling area of the screen. The system then becomes unresponsive to kV/mAs changes, prep/expose presses. The only way to proceed is to suspend the patient, Exit Nexus DR and relogin and continue the exam.
Micro-X is recalling specific models of their Rover Mobile X-ray systems because a rare handling error can cause the system to activate unexpectedly during an exam. This could lead to incomplete scans or safety issues if not properly addressed.
If the system is set to 'Ready to expose' and the hand switch is dropped onto the prep/expose switch, it can activate briefly, causing the 'orange ring of death' display. This makes the system unresponsive to critical settings, requiring a full restart to continue the exam.
Healthcare professionals using Micro-X Rover Mobile X-ray systems with the listed serial numbers are most at risk. Patients may be affected if the system malfunctions during an exam.
Check if your Micro-X Rover Mobile X-ray system has a serial number from the list: 262, 274, 320, 329, 237, 269, 271, 290, 292, 307, 310, 311, 312, 321, 322, 323, 327, 330, 331, 332, 333, 234, 266.
Ensure the system is not set to 'Ready to expose' before handling the hand switch.
If the 'orange ring of death' appears, immediately suspend the patient, exit Nexus DR, and relogin to continue the exam.
The recalled model is Micro-X Rover Mobile X-ray System, # MXU-RV19.
