Why Was This Recalled?

The observed issues can lead to unexpected interruptions of the optics carrier focus drive movement, intermittent stops of the X-Y coupling movement or sporadic failures in the proper on-screen display functionality of the HDR recording unit. Additionally, an anomaly in the device software may also lead to the unexpected behavior that when a user releases a handle or foot switch button this may not immediately end the actuated functionality. This behavior can only occur in unlikely workflows where a user changes a user profile or a mode change is initiated at the same time as a functional button is activated.
