During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.

During patient examinations, the system may sporadically display a major increase of the x-ray dose applied to the patient. Despite the reported dose showing significantly higher, the actual applied x-ray dose levels are in accordance with the system settings and imaging conditions, as well as the applicable regulatory requirements.

During patient examinations, the system may sporadically display a 0 x-ray dose administered to the patient. This behavior has only been observed during fluoroscopy and/or single-frame acquisitions. Despite the reported x-ray dose showing 0, an actual x-ray dose is applied to the patient.

There is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the primary and/or the auxiliary venting paths of the magnet helium containment venting system. In the event of a quench when both venting paths are blocked, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.

Potential hardware issue for ARTIS icono ceiling system: collision sensor may falsely signal non-existing collisions for up to half an hour when the system is switched off for a longer time (e.g., overnight) and switched on. During this time, system movement is only possible with the "override" function with very slow speed and without further collision protection. This may lead to temporary unavailability of the system for diagnostic and therapeutic usage.

Due to the incorrect mounting of the buzzer component, there is no acoustic signal during x ray activation. Otherwise, the system is fully functional, and x ray is applied correctly. By means of the additional visual indicator (exposure LED light) the operator can monitor the x ray release. Also, after a successful x ray exposure, the clinical image is displayed on the monitor.

If, during the procedure, X-ray has been released and a reference image has been stored, the following issue may occur: If "Adjust C-arm to Ref" is activated when the C-Arm is positioned outside of the working range the C-Arm will reach the target position with an inaccuracy of 5-10 mm. As a result, the message Endposition reached will be displayed .Leading to unintended direction of the movement causing crushing of a patient, staff member, operator, or equipmen Live images may not match the previously stored reference images. Overlay images may be shown inaccurate on anatomy (e.g., DSA Roadmap workflow does not match real anatomy). This may cause e.g., a vessel perforation in DSA roadmap.
