| Issue: | The Spot Film Device (SFD) or Intelegent Digital Device (IDD) safety mechanism installed on the system may not engage properly at the lower range of SFD/IDD travel. This mechanism is installed to hold and prevent the SFD/IDD from falling due to a counterweight cable failure. The lower range of travel is 1.1" (28mm) from the lowest point of normal SFD/IDD vertical compression. A fall of the SFD/IDD could result in an injury to a patient or operator. There have been no reported injuries as a result of this issue. |
