An amendment to the IFU and Service Manual is being issued to prescribe the replacement of the angulation chain after 8 years of service of the of the unit. After testing, it was found that due to metal fatigue under sever workload conditions, the angulation chain might fail before the expected lifetime of 10 years.

O-arm" O2 Imaging System, Product Number/CFN: BI-700-02000
Medtronic Navigation, Inc.-Littleton
Due to a manufacturing issue affecting particular O-arm" O2 Imaging Systems, Medtronic has determined that the gantry tractor motor drive belt may loosen over an extended number of uses at a higher frequency in these systems. If the belt loosens, it may result in rotation of 3D images about the gantry isocenter. While the 3D image is anatomically accurate within the image itself and may be used to confirm therapy, its electronic registered location may be rotated relative to the actual physical position of the patient.
There is a potential hardware error for the iMRX System with a generator A100. A tolerance issue in the power supply of the generator control above a specific value may cause generator A100 failure. As a result, the X-ray tube will not be supplied with the required voltage and X-ray will not be possible

Sentiva generators may reset and become disabled within 60 days of enabling. Physicians can re-enable but devices will continue to be susceptible to resets. If a device experiences this issue, this may lead to additional surgery (premature replacement of generator), or patients may return to baseline seizure frequency or depressive symptoms due to cessation of intended stimulation.
