  1. Platinum (DRF)

Reason

Apelem became aware of an incident during which the x-ray tube/collimator assembly became dissociated from its support, causing it to fall. The probable cause of the incident appears to be a fragility of the welding of the part M009G001 "Axe Support Tube", which can cause the part to break and cause the fall of the x-ray tube/collimator assembly.
