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.
