Reason for recall

If SID (source-to-image distance) lift movement is activated and x-ray shall be released simultaneously; x-ray is not possible and the message No x-ray, try again is displayed, may result in a short delay in procedure

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
