Reason

It was identified that there is potential that a possible position sensor fault in the swivel base axis is not being detected by the system software. Following the enabling of movement by the operator, the C-Arm System can unexpectedly move faster than normal. Please note that the system will not move without movement being initiated by the operator, however, the speed at which it can move would be faster than normal.
