Recommended Action
Per FDA guidance
On January 6, 2020, the firm distributed Urgent Medical Device Correction letters to affected customers. Users were informed that they may continue to use the system at this time. However, until the correction is executed, Carestream Health strongly recommends against performing any equipment positioning while the patient is near the system to avoid any bodily injury. If the user of the equipment observes any abnormal displacement in the vertical axis during the vertical movement, the device should be removed from use and a service call placed to Carestream (or local dealer) without delay. A Carestream Service Engineer or Carestream Health Authorized Representative will contact user sites and set up a service call to inspect user's devices within the next 6 months to determine whether the inverter parameters are set correctly. If adjustment is needed, the settings will be corrected and proper U-Arm operation will be verified. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Carestream Customer Care Center in the U.S. at 1-800-328-2910, available 7 days per week on a 24 hour basis. Outside of the U.S., please call your local Carestream Service support number. If you have distributed the device outside your facility, please alert your customer(s) of this field correction and contact the Carestream Customer Care Center as instructed above.
