After investigation of complaints, Medtronic has determined that the O-arm 1000 system requires updates.
1.Technical information in the IFU require clarification, including specifications for x-ray technique factor accuracy, filtration strength, leakage technique factors, air kerma reference location, and tube housing cooling curves.
2. Radiation measurement methodologies associated with confirming the accuracy specifications of the air kerma displays do not fully comply.
3. The x-ray technique factor display accuracy related to mA and mAs do not comply.
4. X-ray generator and motion batteries require inspection to insure they are not damaged.
Items 1 & 2 do not affect the safety or performance of the system. Item 3 could affect performance related to image quality. Item 4 addresses possible shipping damage to the batteries. Damaged batteries may result in odours/fumes, smoke, and the system not functioning as intended. |
