Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Ref.Id: (b)(4).The proxidiagnost system is a stationary nearby-controlled system supports general radiography and fluoroscopy imaging.The system is connected to the hospital main power supply.To adapt the voltage to the hospital power supply, the system is equipped with a spdu (system power distribution unit).This spdu transforms the voltage and eliminate spikes.Therefore the spdu contains a line-filter.On this filter are varistors that protects the system against overvoltage.In case of overvoltage the varistors made a short circuit or cut the connection.In case of a short circuit the varistor are designed to thermally self-destruct.The field service engineer investigated on site and confirmed the issue.He found that the line filter of the spdu caused this issue.A capa investigation leads to a field safety correction.Correction: h6 result and conclusion.The investigation is still ongoing on this event.When the investigation is completed a follow-up report will be sent to the fda.
