| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified a risk that the Diode D1 in the Modulator can fail in a destructive manner once removed from the machine, and that the protective tube surrounding the diode may fail to contain the ejected matter. As the destructive event results in the release of silicon oil and ceramic fragments, further mitigating actions need to be taken when dealing with the diode failure, to reduce the risk of injury to users in the immediate vicinity. |
