Reason

A specific number of patient tables of Artis Zee/Q systems may be affected by a cracked table mainframe. In case the table mainframe is cracked, the load capacity is reduced regarding possible weight overload of the table. The reduction of the rigidity of the table due to the crack has no effect on operation within maximum allowed total weight. However, in very unlikely cases an extreme overload on the table may lead to a crack of the table mainframe. In this case the table top mechanics might become detached and may hurt patient and staff.
