Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Siemens has completed an investigation of the reported event.The root cause was determined to be improper workmanship.Visual inspection showed that two buckles of the cover peeled off which led to unsatisfactory fixation of the cover assembly.The cover had been disassembled/reassembled several times in the past year for general service activities.It is assumed that the two missing buckles may have been broken during service activities but were undiscovered at that time.The cover assembly was replaced during service activities.Furthermore, the maintenance instructions will be optimized to detail the steps to further guide the service/installation personnel to ensure all the buckles of the cover are in good status before reassembling the cover.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.
