  • Cause
    If during system installation, the screws holding the c-arm were mounted using thread locking compound (for example, loctite), then the corresponding thread inserts inside the c-arm casting may loosen when the c-arm is dismantled. if after reassembly of the system, the loosened thread inserts become detached from the casting, the c-arm would no longer securely held in position and could fall. the c-arm is most often dismantled and reassembled when the system is moved to another location.
  • Action
    Philips Healthcare is advising users to check the connection of the C-arm to the column to ensure the C-arm is parallel to the column in side view. If the C-arm is not parallel, do not use the system and contact Philips Healthcare. Philips Healthcare is inspecting all affected units and applying a safety label on affected systems. Local service manuals will be updated at each system site.
