After an upgrade of the software of the Overhead Tube Crane, there were isolated cases in which the Overhead Tube Crane movement does not stop when the movement button is released. Instead of stopping while the movement button is released, the Tube Head Crane moves to the intended position.
Supplier had changed its resin sub-suppliers three (3) times without notifying BSC. These changes resulted in slight variations in resin material compositions which were not reflected in BSC s internal product documentation. Not approved in customer document.
A component of the device was recalled by a supplier. In rare cases of inadequate maintenance or very high clinical workload, the first steel wire rope of the lifting column, which is designed to take the load, can break without triggering the safety lock. This can lead to overloading of the safety cable, which is not designed to permanently carry the load of the lifting column or continuously move under load. This could cause material fatigue and cause the arm to drop unexpectedly during patient positioning. If the arm drops unexpectedly, patients and users may be seriously injured.
