  • Causa
    When the manual cradle release feature on the table is used to move a patient out of the gantry, a discrepancy of up to 6mm between the numerical display on the gantry and the actual position of the table could be introduced.
  • Acción
    A Product Safety Advisory Notice, dated December 8, 2006, was issued to all customers informing them of the safety issue and production correction. Customers are advised to operate the CT cradle as intended with the system''s electronic controls. If a critical need arises to release the cradle during a radiation therapy simulation scan, they are advised to independently verify patient position prior to marking the patient for therapy to avoid the potential inaccuracy. A software update will be installed to correct this problem by a GE representative.
