Manufacturer Narrative

Siemens has completed an investigation of the reported event.The root cause was determined to be a malfunction within the x-ray generator.Investigation of the log files indicated that the invertor d510 showed the error "err_gen_imax" which points to a defective transistor (igbt module) on the affected pcb.If the system detects such failure in the intermediate circuit, any further release of x-ray is prohibited to avoid further damage in the x-ray production line.The service engineer replaced the affected invertor (d510) and the system was returned to full functionality.The manufacturer is not considering any further corrective actions at this time.
