| Issue: | A potential life-threatening hazardous situation may occur if there is unintended radial detector motion leading to patient contact. This failure mode has been observed on a single system for a Whole Body scan, in which the detector moved to the home position and then slowly started drifting inward toward the patient. This generated both a visual and audio alert condition on both the console and the gantry. No injuries have been reported to date. |
