Recalled products

  1. Mammomat Inspiration System - Acquisition Workstation

Reason

In rare cases, the holder of the PC monitor can break and this will cause an unstable monitor. Since the monitor weight is approximately 8kg, it is assumed that the monitor drops down on the table or on the floor, this can result in a serious injury of the hand or the foot or the operator. Only a specific range of systems are affected by this recall. The serial number located in the letter is for a specific system component, not the mammoth inspiration system in which it is located.
