GE Medical Systems, LLC
Hazard

An out of tolerance torque tool was used on three joints during the manufacturing process. If the X-ray Tube becomes loose on the CT gantry during operation, this could result in beam tracking errors, potential scan aborts and/or a possible image artifact. There is a secondary safety mechanism to prevent components from being expelled from the gantry if the bolts fail.
