Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Image quality degradation
HighSymptoms: Noisy, low-contrast or artefacted fluoro / DSA images, poor detail.
Root cause: X-ray tube aging, flat-panel detector degradation, or a collimator / filter fault.
C-arm / stand positioning fault
HighSymptoms: Gantry rotation, angulation or the stand will not move or gives a position error / collision stop.
Root cause: Drive motor, encoder, brake, or a collision-sensor fault.
Patient table movement fault
MediumSymptoms: Table float, tilt or height will not move or drifts.
Root cause: Table drive / brake, the tabletop float solenoid, or a control fault.
X-ray generator / exposure fault
HighSymptoms: Exposure inhibited, kV / mA error, tube-overload or thermal interlock.
Root cause: Generator fault, tube thermal limit, or the cooling system.
Workstation / display or network fault
MediumSymptoms: Review workstation or the in-room monitor blank, no images to PACS.
Root cause: Video routing, a workstation fault, or a network / PACS-interface fault.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Poor image quality
- This is an OEM-service angio system - the BMET role is triage and coordination with Philips.
- Run the system's image-quality / detector calibration test.
- Check the tube hour / exposure counters and the cooling-system status.
- Review recent QA / dose trends.
- Escalate a confirmed tube or detector degradation to Philips.
Symptom: Positioning or exposure interlock
- Note the exact fault code from the geometry display.
- Check for collision-sensor activation or a physical obstruction and clear it.
- Verify the table and stand emergency stops are reset.
- Check the generator / tube thermal status.
- Escalate a drive, generator or tube fault to Philips.
