Wheel spoke may crack causing the wheel to separate from the axle may result in patient injuries, including bruising and lacerations requiring stitches.

Software version VB20_SP5 my lead to a relevant degradation of head image quality, a potential risk to patients is misdiagnosis.

Stems may have an undersized spigot bore diameter therefore separating the proximal body from the stem may not be possible without surgical delay and/or bone damage

(1)Start-up problem: Intermittently at start-up of the system, the communication of the control unit that manages the movement of the stand is not established; (2) Emergency stop recovery problem-warm restart is not executed correctly and movement functionality is not available

This recall has been initiated to provide a labeling update with revised instruction how to operate the unit with Cold Therapy pads.

Kits lacks rubber latex warning label.

Malfunction of the automatic laser beam shut-off, the OCT unit might not recognize whether the laser beam is safely switched off

Proton Therapy System (PTS) software can be started in the clinical environment (clinical user) while some processes are still running in the test environment (tcs user). Initiating the startup of the clinical processes in the environment is not prevented even if some processes of the test environment (tcs) are still running. It may lead to situations where the system is using test processes without notifying the clinical user. If the versions of the processes are different between both environments, this could have an impact on patient treatments.

Abnormal images such as horizontal stripes may be displayed and recovery may not not be possible by restarting the system. The worst case scenario is an operator who is working without a workable image may remove a catheter from the patient's blood vessel and damage the blood vessel.

When a measurement with a PTW detector array is performed with the software BeamAdjust 2.2 or VeriSoft 8.0, a measurement error can occur under specific conditions. This error can lead to a too-low or too-high measured absolute dose which affects patient plan verification results

A potential chemical degradation of Sevoflurane by Lewis acids (metal oxides and metal halides) has been discovered that may result in inhalation and/or skin exposure of hydrogen fluoride.
