| Issue: | The manufacturer has identified that the planned maintenance procedures for verifying the functionality of the caster locks on MR patient tables may not have been consistently performed. This functional check is a proactive safety measure designed to detect potential caster lock failures. If not identified, such failures could lead to unintended table movement and unstable patient support when the table is not docked to the system. |
