| Reason/Issue |
When the instrument cover is raised, the cover is supported by a gas spring attached at the middle of the cover. Over time, the gas spring may lose its effectiveness and fail to support the cover in its full or partially open position. This may lead to the cover falling unexpectedly. |

| Recall Action Instructions |
Siemens is requesting their customers to ensure that any objects placed on the cover are removed prior to opening. If the cover is unable to stay partially raised customers are requested to contact Siemens Technical Support to arrange for the gas spring to be serviced. Siemens technical support representatives will be routinely inspecting the gas spring on regular preventive maintenance cycles or service visits. |
