Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		Some of the systems do not have a safety interlock on the service access panel. Although the systems have two independent means for indicating when x-rays are being generated, some systems may have one indicator that is not discernible. Also, some systems lack proper placement of a caution label and others do not have this label affixed.
