  • Causa
    Siemens has become aware that in rare cases the small light marker window used for the positioning laser and integrated in the front cover of the ct could loosen and potentially fall/drop out. this could lead to a risk of electrical shock or physical harm to fingers if a person touched the rotating or electrical parts of the gantry when reaching through the window opening.
  • Acción
    Siemens is developing a solution for the problem and this will be implemented as a permanent correction. In the interim, users should maintain awareness until a solution is implemented. They should not use the CT system in case a light marker window is missing or loose and is advised to inform the Siemens Service immediately.
