Manufacturer Narrative
No issues were found with table, table top and bucky tray assembly during service inspection.The gap between the table rail and bucky tray assembly is as designed.All respective parts are in good working condition.The issue was determined to be incorrect usage by not using the hand grip, which was reported to the service manager by the supervisor.Therefore, this has been deemed to be an operator error.No further follow up required as the incident ultimately occurred due to (as stated) operator error.
 
Event Description
Patient was lying on her back on the table for lateral lumbar x-ray.As the patient was positioned to her left side, she grabbed the table top rail with her right hand.Her fingers were wrapped around and under said rail.She was not using a hand grip, as reported by the x-ray technician.As the table top was moved laterally to position the patient over the detector in the table bucky, the patients fingers were pinched between the table top back rail and bucky tray assembly.The patient reacted and told the x-ray technician, who had to move to the table top towards the back wall to release her fingers.No blood or broken bones were reported.
