  • 원인
    Medtronic has identified a potential failure in the braking system that controls the o-arm gantry’s vertical movement. medtronic's internal investigation identified that the transistor which is part of the motion control box that manages the gantry’s vertical movement, could be exposed to a level of current that would damage it and could cause it to fail. if the transistor fails, the brake that holds the gantry in its vertical position could release, allowing the gantry to rapidly descend.
  • 조치
    The manufacturer, Medtronic navigation has identified a correction for this potential failure mode by designing and implementing an improved circuit for the braking system that controls the O-Arm gantry’s vertical movement. Medtronic is advising customers to set the OR table/patient height from the floor as low as possible to reduce the risk of adverse health consequence in the unlikely event of the failure mode occurring in the field until affected systems are implemented with the corrective action.
