    It was identified that HDDs used in the PCs of Azurion and Allura systems may show a decrease in performance as they age, particularly beyond six years of service. Issues with an HDD may, depending on the specific system PC in which the affected HDD is installed, result in loss of imaging functionality. Additionally, in Allura systems, this may lead to loss of motorized movement, or loss of data. In some cases, a system restart may temporarily restore functionality.
