Apollo DRF: Model: 9784220831 Multi-function x-ray systems capable of routine radiograph and general fluoroscopy procedures.

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

The analysis showed that the incident was caused by a chain of four faults: 1.) The injured person overcame a physical barrier (the tabletop support arm. height ca. 60 em) to access a prohibited area not intended as a working position. 2) The directions for use (device labeling and instructions for use) did not contain an explicit exclusion of the prohibited area. 3.) The movement was activated inadvertently and continuously. and it was not released (the movement requires continuous activation). 4.) Delayed activation of the emergency stop.
