| Issue: | The manufacturer has become aware of a localization error on Revolution CT systems equipped with the SmartStep Option. The Z location displayed on image annotation and on the gantry display may not be the actual location of the table. This can occur if: 1. The table has been moved all the way out of the gantry using the 'Out' button on the gantry control or the 'Unload Pedal'. 2. The table is then moved back into the gantry using the 'Move to start location' button on the Hand Held Controller. In this situation, if a scan is initiated by the user, the scan may be acquired in the wrong location. An additional scan may be necessary. |
