On january 7th, 2025, the customer reported an incident with our 3dimensions mammography system prior to a procedure.It was reported that the c-arm was moving down without any action performed by the user.When the c-arm was moved up, it went all the way down.The foot switch was stuck in the down position.The customer has also reported a burning smell.No injury was reported to the user, and no patient was in the room at the time of the incident.The part was not returned for investigation; therefore, age could not be confirmed.Due to the part not being returned, the investigation will be limited.A complaint trawl will be performed but further investigation into root cause is not possible due the part not being returned.The probable cause is that the footswitch malfunctioned since the unintended behavior was resolved through replacing the footswitch.The root cause is unknown due to the unreturned part.Based on this investigation, the probable cause is that the footswitch malfunctioned in a manner that resulted in the c-arm moving in a downward direction.Root cause is unknown as the part was not returned for investigation.The risk index remains in zone 1, which is considered acceptable risk.A capa is not needed at this time as there was no patient or user harm and because the risk is considered low based on the occurrence rate.Future events will be monitored and trended complaint confirmed: no.Device history record (dhr) review: review of the complaint records for this system indicate the footswitch was previously replaced due to being unresponsive on 04/06/2022.As this is an accessory, a dhr review is not warranted.Serial number: (b)(6).Date of manufacture: 04/09/2019.Date of installation: (b)(6) 2019.Unique device identifier (udi): (b)(4).
