Potential safety issues in Allura Xper R7.6- R8.1 systems where the Lifetime Extension (LTE) kit is not installed in a timely manner. Root cause is under investigation, but the recall reason is listed as for systems over 10 years of life with LTE kits are experiencing propeller motor clamping bolt and x-ray tube locking bolt breaks. If this happens, it may cause erratic C-arm movements and potential collision with patients or bystanders, or detection of a false collisions and subsequent blocked movement of the c-arm. Movement may also cause image noise and black area on the x-ray image, and possible need to expose the patient to additional unnecessary radiation during re-examination.

Potential for the Mains Control Unit board fuse may blow out during system start-up or during a procedure.

The motorized longitudinal movement of the FlexArm stand may be inconsistent (not smooth) and eventually may become unavailable. This issue is due to grease leakage from the bearings and/or anti-corrosion oil applied on the bearings, because of which the lubrication on the ceiling rail may be excessive, reducing the friction between the rails and the friction wheel.

A half-threaded bolt was included in the LTE kits instead of the correct full-threaded bolt.

Potential Loss of Imaging (X-ray) Functionality and/or Longer Time to Perform Cold Restart

Potential for pressure wave data synchronization from two devices may not be correct.

When Software upgrade 8.1.100 is installed on an Allura Xper with an AD7NT (non tilt) table, the pivot brake does not engage. This issue may cause unexpected movements of the table.

Generator may fail due to a potential short circuit in the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) in PoInt EVR (Power Invertor). If a short circuit occurs, it will cause the fuses to trip and the system will become non-functional due to power loss, resulting in a potential delay of procedure or termination of procedure.

System may exhibit a loss of imaging functionality and data due to an issue which can cause the system to continuously restart. If the issue occurs during a procedure, there may be a delay and/or abortion of the procedure.

Ceiling mounted L-arm contains a rotation cover that may potentially be susceptible to falling if a collision between the L-arm and other hospital equipment (i.e., an operating light) were to occur result in injury or potential sterility issues due to the cover becoming loose

A damaged foot switch may cause instances where no or only intermittent x-ray radiation initiation is possible.

A foot switch pedal may get stuck in the active position when the user releases the pedal, resulting in the emission of unintended radiation
