| Reason/Issue |
The Biograph mCT system running VG40A software may experience intermittent problems with CT or PETCT scans aborting during an examination. The problem is the result of an error in the software that is used to control the motion of the patient handling system during an examination. When the problem occurs, the patient handling system stops moving which then results in an abort of the current CT or PETCT scan. |
