While servicing a unit at a customer site, a field engineer discovered a broken bolt from the carriage assembly. Carestream has identified an issue related to the DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray System in which bolts that secure the x-ray tube assembly/boom to the device mounting block may break. It has been determined that this issue is a result of an improperly assembled part which holds the x-ray

In special cases, during the start-up of the current model of MobileDiagnost wDR(WmDR 1.1), an unintended exposure could occur.

Loss of imaging - affected devices may experience a loss of real-time interventional imaging and/or gantry motion due to the Electromagnetic (EM) sensitivity of the grid detection mechanism.

When using the QLAB Auto 2D Quantification (a2DQ) and Auto Cardiac Motion Quantification (aCMQ) applications, the reported End-Systolic Volume (ESV) may be smaller, and the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) may be higher, than the ESV and EF calculated by manual tracing without the use of QLAB. An incorrect EF calculation could lead to misdiagnosis and/or delayed or incorrect therapy.
