It was discovered during testing of the v/tome/x L450 system s/n PA1790, that the pre-warning signals does not provide "Audible and visible warning signals within the cabinet" if the "warm up" mode was not completed after initializing the system when first turned on.

GE Inspection Technologies, LP determined that the Blade|line cabinet x-ray system fails to comply with the cabinet x-ray performance standards emission limit of 0.5 milliRoentgen in one hour (21 CFR ¿ 1020.40(c)(1)(i)) underneath the bottom center of the system. The crawl space affected by the excess emission is approximately 22 inches high, normally covered by decorative panels, and is not intended to be accessed.
Radiation emissions which exceeded the limit in the performance standard were detected during maintenance of one system. The identified cause was insufficient attachment of shielding in the door. Jostling during delivery was identified as the probable cause of this failure to comply with the performance standard.
GE Inspection Technologies, LP ("GE") has discovered that certain of its cabinet x-ray systems may not fully comply with the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Cabinet X¿ ray System performance standards, 21 C.F.R. ¿ 1020.40(c)(1)(i)
GE has identified a potential failure to comply with 21 C.F.R. ¿ 1040.10 and 21 C.F.R. ¿ 1010.2 for the alignment laser centering device.
It was discovered that the upper left corner-shaped lead shield in the window in one of the doors of the v|tome|x L240 installed had lost adhesion and fall out of position, which could lead to gaps in shielding.
