| Issue: | Philips advises that the stereo clutch of the Gantry might get misadjusted or its bearing might break during operation. This might cause the object table to move, resulting in a small potential risk that the table may move with the tube arm in a situation when this should not happen, e.g. when the breast is compressed and a biopsy is performed. |
