Reason
Philips recently discovered an issue associated with the swivel mechanism of the control panel assembly for the device EPIQ Ultrasound Systems where the control panel arm assembly could swivel. Mechanism of the control panel assembly for the EPIQ device includes a plastic bushing, which is a part designed to prevent small side-to-side movements (rattle) of the Control Panel when the swivel mechanism is in the locked position. The bushing appears to be backed out (or stick out) of the hole it is retained within, preventing the swivel mechanism from locking properly. This causes the entire control panel and monitor to swivel freely.
