| Issue: | The manufacturer has become aware that rotor bearing screws were found loose on one detector in the field, leading to the release of one of the four rotor bearings in the detector. As a result of multiple other design redundancies the detector remained secured. As a result of these design redundancies, it is highly improbable that the detector would become unsecure if the bearing screws loosen. In the unlikely event that the bearing screws loosen, and the multiple other design redundancies also fail, the detector could fall during use and lead to potentially life-threatening bodily harm. |
