After the incident, incident, customer engineer tried to reproduce it but couldn't reproduce.Then, the satellite console's override switch had a loose connection, so he replaced the consoles, cables and circuit boards.Normally, the c-arm cannot be operated in the park position, but in override mode it can be operated.Override mode is a function that allows the user to release the interlock and operate.As a result of the log investigation, the c-arm was able to move by changing to override mode in the park position.At the same time, the c-arm began to rotate and collided with the shelf.Then it occured errors and stopped.When an error occurred, the c-arm's movement was detected as abnormal, and the c-arm was stopped.Additionally, the user could stop it using the emergency switch.The movement speed in override mode is slower than the standard speed.After receiving the returned parts, we are going to update this report.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

There is no abnormality in the investigation of all returned parts.Customer engineer reported that the satellite console's override switch had a loose connection.However, in the result of this investigation there is only a slight difference of sense touching the switch and function and performance are normal.After system installation was completed, the user installed an additional shelf in the examination room.This led to a potential risk of interference with the c-arm.In this case, after the examination finished and the c-arm was returned the parked position, the user moved the main rotation of the c-arm in override mode and caused interference with the shelf.It is considered that the user attempted to move the c-arm horizontally toward the ceiling lateral direction and operated the main rotation incorrectly.It is doubtful that the user was paying attention to the c-arm's operation though the override mode alarm was sounding.Also, further details are unclear because the user's cooperation in an interview to clarify the details was not received.(since the arm was operating at a low speed in override mode, if the user had paid attention, the user could have stopped by releasing the override mode switch or c-arm operation switch.) it is confirmed that there was no abnormality in system operation based on the log analysis.(the override function worked normally, and the system detected an abnormal overload caused by interference and stopped the c-arm movement.) as mentioned above, the system slowed the movement speed during override mode and detected as abnormal and stopped the c-arm movement.The system is also equipped with an emergency switch that users could use to stop movement.Also, the console switch is a dead-man type, so if the user releases the switch, it will stop working.The safety of the system is ensured by these functions including this case.It is judged that no further corrective action for the system is needed because the cause is user error.
