Official product description
Philips DigitalDiagnost C50 -intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy Model Number : 712201
Why the product was recalled
If the PM for the telescopic carriage is not performed annually as defined in the Instructions for Use (IFU), the tension force of the spring balancer inside of the telescopic carriage will unavoidably decay through normal wear and tear; as a result there is a potential that the Ceiling Suspension of the DigitalDiagnost C50 system may descend inadvertently if power to the system is interrupted, and may result in injuries to patients and users
