Action

FIELD CORRECTION NOTIFICATION letters dated July 13, 2015 were sent to all dealers. The letters instructed the dealers: to schedule the replacement of the current arrestor by a new design of resistive arrestor with a resistance of 1 M ohm between frame and floor (ground). Although the metallic arrestor is only implemented in the equipments manufactured from April 2013 till March 2015, the upgrade kit has to be implemented in all the installed base of Mobiles with the same configuration in order to ensure that even the arrestors installed as spare part are replaced. Sedecal will provide the necessary upgrade kits to all the customers or distributors. *** U.S. Distributor, Virtual Imaging (a Canon U.S.A. Company) will use letter entitled, FIELD CORRECTION NOTIFICATION, RADPRO 40kW - -DIGITAL MOBILE X-RAY SYSTEM and dated 7/13/2015 to communicate to end users. The letter states "Once Virtual Imaging receives the resistive arrestor, we will contact you to schedule the replacement on the Affected System that you service."
