Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Reference id: (b)(4).The digitaldiagnost 4.X is a stationary x-ray system for general radiographic purposes.As an option, a portable digital flat panel detector (model "skyplate") can be used for image capture.Philips received a complaint on digitaldiagnost 4.X indicating that machine is not switching on while tries to diagnosis ceiling-mounted tube (cmt) controller board gets short and starts fire.The device was outside of clinical use and there was no harm to patient or user.The field service engineer (fse) conducted a detailed analysis and found that the system was not powering on due to a short circuit in the cmt controller board, which had caught fire as a result of water leakage from the rooftop.A fire extinguisher was used to extinguish the fire; however, no fire alarm was triggered during the incident.Upon inspection, it was identified that the user application (ua) board was completely damaged and non-functional.After replacing the ua board, the system powered on but entered a restricted operating mode.Further evaluation revealed a software malfunction¿exposure functionality was disabled in user mode, although it operated correctly in service mode, confirming a software-related issue.To resolve this, the ua field of the ceiling suspension module (csm) board was replaced, and the system software was reloaded.Following these actions, the system was restored to full functionality and successfully handed over for clinical use.Based on the available information and testing performed, the root cause of the reported issue was identified as water leakage from the ceiling rooftop¿an environmental condition that led to the problem.The field service engineer (fse) resolved the issue by sealing the leakage path and redirecting the water flow away from the machine area.The resolution and root cause have been confirmed by the customer.
