Recalled Product
A.DISCOVERY IGS 740 - MAIN UNIT
Reason
The affected systems may experience a loss of gantry motion capability as a result of a failure with the Gantry Motion Control Board (MCB). Limited gantry motion can interfere, complicate or prolong an interventional procedure dependent upon multiple fields of view. Diagnostic and image guided performance capability may be hindered. After a reset, X- rays are available and manual motions of some gantry and table axes are still available. There have been no injuries reported as a result of this issue.
