Event Description
|
It was reported that automatic pullback failure occurred.An ilab ultrasound imaging system was used in conjunction with an imaging catheter and a pullback sled to perform automatic pullback.During the procedure it was noted that the image disappeared.The mdu5+ was replaced and connected.However, it could not perform pullback.Possible that sled recognition is malfunctioning.When the sled was replaced, the issue improved.No patient complications were reported.
