Reason

The C-arm rotation brake does not always function properly, and may not hold the C-arm position if the C-arm is not positioned in its maximum rotation and if it is accidentally bumped by medical staff or patients. Unwanted C-arm movement may cause the C-arm to collide with a patient. The brakes function properly if the C-arm is rotated to its maximum positions.

Root cause

Philips will contacdt customers to implement Field Corrective Action (FCO) #71800026), which describes a mechanical brake modification which will be installed by Philips. Until the Field Corrective Action has been completed, users should ensure that the C-arm is placed in the maximum extended position, or ensure that the C-arm is not touched during critical procedures if the C-arm is not in a maximum position.
