Manufacturer Narrative
|
Our technical experts analyzed the provided picture and noticed tape on the sealing flap.However, when the monitor ceiling system (mcs) is delivered by siemens to customers, it comes without tape.It was also confirmed that the concerned mcs was dented and not in proper state.Based on the input from the supplier, the sealing flap at the customer site has been incorrectly mounted or dissembled.According to siemens local service engineer, disassembly or mounting was not performed by siemens.Manufacturer's instructions for use clearly indicate not to use the damaged system and that local service should be contacted for repairs.A regular inspection of the mcs should be performed by the user as well.The concerned unit is working as designed, and the reported event was caused by a user error.
