There is a potential for components to be damaged inside the system gantry and for the internal components to be expelled from the system gantry and injure the patient, operator, bystander or service people.

Action

On 6/23/08/08, the Philips Neusoft sent a letter dated 6/10/08 to their US customers explaining the problem, under what circumstances it can occur, and the actions that should be taken by the customer/user in order to prevent risks for patients or users.
