[134916165]
On 12/31/2018 it was reported to midmark by a dealer technician that an x-ray unit (preva, 76" reach; serial number (b)(4)) separated from the wall in which it was secured. There were no injuries although the tubehead contacted the patient, (b)(6), who refused treatment. (b)(6), a dental hygienist was present at the time of the incident ((b)(6)). The unit mounting was visually inspected at the user facility by the technician and photographs were received by midmark technical services. The technician, after inspection of the mounting apparatus concluded that the 3" top lag bolt provided by midmark pulled out of the single stud, causing damage to the wall and for the chassis to bend. The mounted unit was centered on a 2x4 stud (sheet rock was cut to visualize it along with the? " distance between this and the wall) with a lag bolt on top and bottom along with a stabilizing screw on the bottom. There is no evidence of wood split but the top hole was dislodged approximately 2" lower to get into clean wood. It is unknown if the pre-installation requirements were met; if the installation template was used; or if the facility uses the device to hang lead aprons. The installation manual was not used at the time of initial installation. No further information was provided.
