Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Siemens has completed an investigation of the reported event.The root cause was determined to be a hardware defect.The investigation showed that the malfunction was due to a hardware defect.The motor controller, which is responsible for moving the system, was spontaneously defective.After replacing this part, full functionality could be restored.Neither the on-site inspection nor the check of the spare parts consumption showed any indication of a general problem that would require corrective action.Therefore, no further action seems necessary.After detailed investigation, the incident is not classified as a reportable event as neither serious injury, death nor an unexpected prolonged hospitalization of the patient or any other person occurred or could be expected.
