An error was discovered in the interpretation of certain DICOM header tags that may lead to incorrect orientation labeling, and thus and indirect left-right, up-down or anterior-posterior flipping of images.

The bug causes BOLD activation maps to be visualized as overlays without taking the coregistration into account. Any output created from these activation maps as overlays will not be adjusted according to the coregistration.

In certain scenarios the ADVIA Centaur CP, XP and XPT immunoassay analyzers may exhibit reduced dilution recovery or become inoperable when used with Multi-Diluent 15 and certain lots of BNP and TSH3RUL Assays.

Potential that one or more image series may be missing from an exam without a user warning displayed in the Viewer.

There is an error related to the relative geometry between fiber tracts in a fiber group and images. The error occurs in the following situations: A group of fibers has been selected using the VOI functionality and put into a fiber group. This is done with images series A visualized in the 3D viewer. Then a new images series B is visualized in the 3D viewer. If image series A and B have the same geometrical resolution (pixel sizes and slice distances), the coregistration matrix taking A to B will not be applied to the fiber group, and therefore the fiber group will in general not be positioned correctly on B in the 3D viewer. Furthermore, if the fiber group is exported as a new image series the fibers could be misplaced, and similarly if the fibers are visualized in the MPR on B, the positioning will not be correct. The misalignment will be equal to the rotations/translations necessary to align A with B.

The MRx monitor/defibrillators could fail to charge because the therapy printed circuit board may have been loaded with an incorrect electronic component. Failure to charge could potentially cause therapy to be interrupted or delayed.

Products may encroach into the sterile pouch seal thereby increasing the risk of the seal being compromised.

Possibility that the Biograph Horizon systems performing CT retrospective cardiac gating or PET cardiac gating examinations may experience a waveform sampling issue caused by a firmware change within the Universal Physiological Measurement Module.

The Strip Provider Modules (SPM) on some of the instruments had not been inspected during manufacture for correct seal placement and integrity.

Software anomaly resulting in the loss of patient settings and stored patient data.

The real-time numeric value for ventricular end-diastolic pressure (EDP) displayed on the Live Display may be inaccurate. Because ventricular pressure monitoring is only performed in the cardiac catheterization procedure room using the FC2010 device, the FC2020 device, which is used in the Pre or Post-Op Holding Areas, is not impacted by this issue.

A subset of Lot 7212154 A of the iChem VELOCITY Urine Chemistry strips has an incorrect pad placed in the location of the leukocytes pad. This will result in control CB failure for leukocytes and may generate false negative erroneous results for leukocytes.

The assay can potentially generate erroneously elevated or erroneously decreased HbA1c patient results.

There is a potential risk of unnecessary radiation exposure due to a software issue found in the CARE Dose4D algorithm implemented in Siemens Healthineers CT scanners of types SOMATOM Definition AS, SOMATOM Definition DS, SOMATOM Definition Edge, SOMATOM Definition Flash and SOMATOM Force.

A subassembly component (dextrose bag) within this case product contained small amounts of sodium bicarbonate from a prior batch.

A failure of the tube arm suspension is possible while the tube arm height is being adjusted. During tube height adjustment there is a small probability of failure of both the primary and redundant holding mechanisms, causing uncontrollable descent of the tube arm and a potential risk of injury to the patient.
