Philips Healthcare
Due to an incorrect configuration setting in the EPX database of StentBoost Live, acquisition does not stop automatically as it should. When the user selects the StentBoost Live protocol on the Philips Azurion system, the following on-screen message is displayed to the user in the Philips StentBoost Live application: "Press the cine pedal until the acquisition stops". However, due to the incorrect configuration of the EPX database, the acquisition does not stop after 40 images, but instead it continues as long as the pedal is pressed.
