No patient information provided as no patient was involved in this concern.A medtronic representative inspected the imaging system onsite and confirmed it would not calibrate motion.The representative reported that upon boot up the system requested to hold the 'm' button to calibrate motion, but it would not calibrate and stopped the gantry moving in the 'y' direction.Upon trouble shooting, the gantry could move as normal in any direction with the pendant, but after removing the x-stage bellows cover and invalidating home, calibration was still unsuccessful.The positioner controller was replaced (firmware updated) and the issue was resolved.A full imaging system check-out was completed following part replacement and all tests passed.Full system functionality was confirmed and the system was returned to service.The suspect part has been returned to the manufacturer for evaluation, however results are not available at this time.

A site representative reported that outside of a procedure, the imaging system took a long time to calibrate motion.The site reported that the motion was difficult to calibrate and took 10 minutes for the procedure to finalize.Four attempts were made to calibrate motion.The longest the m button was held was 53 minutes.The system was going up and down, but it was not possible to get side to side motion calibration.There was no patient present when this issue was observed.The cases at the site will continue as scheduled with a c-arm system.
