Philips has become aware that if during system installation the screws holding the c-arm were mounted using thread locking compound (e.G. loctite) then the corresponding thread inserts inside the c-arm casting may loosen when the c-arm is dismantied. if after reassembly of the system the lossened thread inserts become detached from the casting the c-arm would no longer be securely held in position and could fall. the c-arm is most often dismantied and reassembled when the system is moved to another location.
