CanadaThe ARTIS icono ceiling (model/catalogue 11328100; lot/serial number 190087) is affected. The Display ceiling suspension (DCS Fix XL) may have screws near the x‑ray indicator light that slowly loosen, creating a small gap under the indicator light that increases over time. If operation continues, internal cables routed within the arm can be damaged, which can result in loss of the displayed image; contact the manufacturer for additional information.

How to identify it
Affected products: ARTIS icono ceiling; Lot or serial number: 190087; Model or catalogue number: 11328100
The hazard
The affected part is the Display ceiling suspension (DCS Fix XL) that holds the monitor in place. Over time, some screws that keep the monitor attached may slowly become loose. This happens near the x-ray indicator light. As the screws loosen gradually, a small gap can be seen underneath the indicator light. This gap increases slowly and can be noticed over a longer period of time.
If operation continues while the screws are loosening, internal cables routed within the arm may become damaged. This damage can result in the loss of the displayed image. If the condition is not detected in time or is ignored, additional screws may progressively loosen over time.
What to do
Contact the manufacturer if you require additional information.
