  • Causa
    During manufacturing philips identified an issue involving hydrogen embrittlement of fasteners used in the manufacture of ct systems. it was determined this was due to trapped hydrogen introduced into the fastener during electroplating operations performed by a philips supplier., hydrogen embrittled fasteners can crack and fail suddenly when under stress. assessment of these fasteners determined that sufficient mitigations were in place such that a single-point failure did not exist. even should two fasteners fail for the same component, the occurrence of harm was determined to be less than remote., there have been no complaints associated with this issue, and no reports of injury or death.
