# FDA recall Z-0298-2019

> **Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc** · Class II · device recall initiated 2018-08-06.

## Product

AXIOM Multix MT (model number 8395415 or 8395399 or 8395381), a patient table used in conjunction with the Siemens Multix PRO- and TOP Systems radiographic exposures of the entire body.

## Reason for recall

In rare cases of high clinical workload, the steel cables inside the lifting column of the overhead tube, which are designed to take the load, may rapture without triggering the safety lock. This could lead to overloading the safety rope, which is not designed for continuous load and ongoing movement under load. This may lead to mechanical fatigue and cause the arm to drop down unexpectedly during movement in vertical direction and during patient positioning.
