    SFDA urges all hospitals that have devices subjected to recall, to contact the company.
  • Reason
    The unit is equipped with safety measures so no movement may occur without user interaction. after an upgrade of the software of the overhead tube crane, there were isolated cases in which the overhead tube crane movement does not stop when the movement button is released. instead of stopping while the movement button is released, the tube head crane moves to the intended position. this issue only occurs with a specific combination of dedicated software versions with specific hardware board revisions.
