Increase in reports of polymer degradation of the catheter tip, resulting in tip fracture and/or separation. degradation could include loss of device function, separation of a device segment leading to medical intervention, or complications resulting from a separated segment. Such complications include device fragments in the vascular system, genitourinary system, or other soft tissues. Fragments within the vascular system could result in embolization to the heart or lungs, or occluding blood flow to end organs.

SOMATOM Definition Flash with software version VA48A-SP2; Model # 10590000, computed tomography x-ray system
Siemens Medical Solutions USA
Due to an internal communication error between the firmware and the software of the components, the planned CT scan executes properly, but the injector is not started. Therefore, the contrast agent is not injected and the desired examination result is not achieved. This error only affects the automatic mode or coupled mode and does not affect the manual control of the injector.
The adhesive may be inadequately applied or the assembly may be manipulated after application of the adhesive resulting in an incomplete bond to the angled tip.
The outer packaging was mislabeled on the box indicating "Cobalt HV with Gentamicin". The bone cement does not contain antibiotics.

A firmware issue in the supplied LCD workstation monitor(s). Under some circumstances, the monitor(s) may appear dark with no video displayed.
Ingenuity Core, Model number 728321 Product Usage: Computed Tomography X-ray systems intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes.
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland)
After upgrading to 3.6.7 software version via FCO72800643, during reconstruction of gated helical scans, the planned anatomy can be cut off on the CT images. This issue can occur on gated CT helical reconstruction that is not planned at iso-center (0,0). If the region of interest is not visualized in the images, a CT rescan may be performed.

Malfunction of the radiation-warning timer and the 3D-specific interval warning. No 5-minute timer dialogs or beeper will occur until the unit is rebooted.
In systems with version 10.4 software Initial Drain logic, the device will attempt to drain the patient to empty at the beginning of therapy (initial drain). The operator can stop, but cannot bypass, the active Initial Drain. This is to mitigate against Unintended Increased Intraperitoneal Volume (IIVP). This can cause serious problems in patients with unrelated a co-morbid condition of ascites.
