Following a system restart where the Table Height 2 (TH2) is the default setting and then switched to Wallstand VS2, operators will see an incorrect orientation of image on the first examination due to an issue in the firmware of the Wallstand VS2 board. The system will rotate the amplimat field selection by 90 degrees. The wrong amplimat field selection may cause an incorrect dose of radiation to occur. Additionally, the anatomic position markers may become mispositioned and could potentially be associated with the opposite side of the anatomy. (Updated 1/30/23) Expansion of the root cause to include incorrect amplimat field selection by 90 degrees following the first exposure using Wallstand VS2 and a subsequent system restart. Previously, this issue only occurred following a system restart where the Table Height 2 (TH2) is the default setting.

High number of total images/unassigned events including (dual positives) and the potential for false positive results being placed into the image gallery in some patient samples

When connected to the EnSite Precision Navigation System, an affected TactiCath Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled may present the error message: "invalid catheter,, or "expired catheter."

It may occur that after system startup no stand movement is possible any longer in the event of a discharged BIOS battery of the robotic stand control PC. If this problem occurs during startup, all stand movements are blocked and can only be reactivated by a field service engineer.

During system tests, an increased wearing of the Image acquisition system fans has been observed. This could lead to an electrical failure which may cause malfunction of the image system during regular system operation.

Positive bias with Lithium Heparin plasma samples from individuals that are expected to be below the 99th percentile of 0.07 ng/mL [0.07 ¿g/L], may lead to inappropriate intervention for myocardial infarction

After CT image data from Toshiba is loaded, image mirroring can occur along the horizontal and vertical image axes. If this error occurs, the patient orientation/position may be misinterpreted and result in inappropriate treatment, even if the incorrect visualization is obvious.

The outer package is mislabeled and the package contains a different IOL strength.
