During a vertebral aspiration on a patient the i-guide software package on the siemens biplane machine did not function properly.The software stated that all angles were unachievable.Therefore the physician had to manually drive his needle to the entry point without the 3d operations.The physician was able to get the specimen needed, however additional radiation was needed.An extra 16cc of contrast was given.The siemens applications specialist was informed and was able to confirm that the application was not operating appropriately.The manufacturer came on-site to evaluate the device and fix the problem.
