Unexpected failure of electrical components within the CPI generator.

There is a potential for unexpected failure of the electrical components within the Carestream Health Inc. generator installed in your DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System(s). This can lead to temporary and self contained thermal overload within the generator. Should an event like this occur, the system will become inoperable and loud noise, burnt smell and smoke may be detectable.

Software error; Carestream Health Inc, received a complaint stating that when a user accidentally obtains a measurement value of 0 and corrects the value in the report, the resulting measurement unit is not displayed, i.e., centimeters or millimeters. As such, the user expects that the measurement is taken calculated in centimeters, consistent with other values in the report. In actuality, the measurement is taken in millimeters. When this updated measurement is used in an average calculation, the result appears incorrect as two measurements are interpreted as centimeters while the user corrected value is interpreted as millimeters. If the user selects a Calc Result display as Min or Max, the values are also interpreted as millimeters when centimeters were expected.

A software issue related to the generic volume measurement functionality could result in the volume of the subject anatomy being overestimated. For example, measurement results of the anatomy may appear enlarged or distended when it actually is not.

Reduced mammographic image quality when attempting to print true size multi-format images

An on-site evaluation of the equipment parts that attach the Beta Assembly (x-ray tube and collimator) to the Over Head Tube Crane (OTC) Telescope was completed by Carestream Health (CSH) Service Engineering. Inspection of these parts revealed that the tab on the lock washer was not bent into the lock nut recess and because the Beta Assembly detached from the OTC telescope, the lock nut was not sufficiently tightened.

The Indicator Dot on the film packet's outer printed paper labeling was incorrectly positioned relative to the location of the raised dot on the dental intraoral film. This may cause confusion for the dental practitioner. If the processed film is placed on the view box by referencing the film's raised dot, the image orientation will be rotated 180 degrees.

A control system failure may cause the U-Arm to move downward unexpectedly when the Radiology Technologist is positioning the equipment using the "Up" or "Down" control buttons. Downward movement occurs at three times the normal rate of speed and will continue until the device control button is released, the Emergency Stop button is activated or the equipment Bump Sensor contacts an object.
