Philips recalls CombiDiagnost GCF software v1.0.5 (Product Code 709030) for error 80 locking geometry and incorrect thermos switch installation. Affected units may require service engineer intervention.
When using the Table Up/Down button, the system may experience Error 80, which locks the geometry in that specific state, requiring the intervention of a service Engineer. Additionally, the thermos switch, which handles power down of the unit in case of transformer overheating, was installed incorrectly at production.
