Official product description
Cios Alpha, Model Number 10308191; mobile X-Ray system designed to provide X-ray imaging of the anatomical structures of patient during clinical application
Why the product was recalled
During a routine inspection of a system, a crack on the C-arm holder was discovered. In the event the C-arm holder has a crack, the stability of the C-arm may be compromised and could lead to deformations of the C-arm. In very unlikely cases, an extreme impact to the C-arm such as heavy collision with a wall or table, may lead to a detachment of the C-arm and could potentially result in injury to patients and staff.
