Reason

Product monitoring has revealed a possible defect in the X-ray tube cooling device in the affected systems. The input fuse of the cooling device can be damaged when the system is switched on. The cooling device is therefore, no longer available for cooling the tube at the start of a procedure. This information is displayed to the user, but a procedure can be started nonetheless. However, the X-ray tube can fail after a certain time, and radiation will no longer be available.
