    There is a potential for the Monitor Ceiling Suspension, which holds a large screen monitor, may detach from the actuator rotor shaft causing the monitor to fall from the ground. When a Monitor Ceiling Suspension detaches from the actuator rotor shaft and the monitor falls, there is a risk of injury for the patient, user and bystander.

    • Terminated Z-1822-2017 FDA Class II initiated 22 Mar 2017

    Due to a leak in the detector cooling system, cooling liquid may leak outside the drip tray of the chiller. If this occurs the liquid may drip onto electrical components in the R cabinet located in the technical room, which could lead to damage to the system and potentially cause thermal events such as a burning odor, smoke or fire.

    System may lock up.

    • Terminated Z-0922-2017 FDA Class II initiated 1 Dec 2016

    Due to a production error, screws were not tightened to specified torque. These screws may come loose from the C-arm shaft causing the C-arm to rotate uncontrolled.

    • Terminated Z-0764-2016 FDA Class II initiated 3 Nov 2015

    Normally, movement of the C-arc is initially stopped by the motor (holding torque) then by the electromagnetic brake, leading to a full stop of the C-arc. Because of improper adjustment and tolerances, when the C-arc is initially stopped in an unbalanced position, the air gap of the brake can become too large, resulting in continued C-arc movement (C-arc is looking for balanced position).

    • Terminated Z-0810-2016 FDA Class II initiated 6 Jul 2015 on shared 510(k) K033737

    The actuator assembly became detached and the monitor carriage with a flexvision monitor dropped to its lowest position.
