  • Causa
    The manufacturer reports that if the output power of the rf amplifier is higher than the specific absorption rate (sar: specific absorption rate), the rf power monitor interrupts the acquisition, if the user performs a tps reset (treatment and storage of the transceiver) for the acquisition of a patient, the rf power monitor is turned off during the rest of the test for this patient, being unable to detect an abnormality of the higher rf transmission function, causing heating and localized doses higher than expected leading to may present potential serious adverse events to patients.
