Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Power supply fault
MediumSymptoms: Unexpected shutdown, unit won't power on.
Root cause: PSU or backup battery aging.
Recon / system software hang
LowSymptoms: Frozen console, acquisition timeout.
Root cause: Workstation or storage degradation.
Network / DICOM connectivity fault
MediumSymptoms: Images fail to transfer, PACS timeout.
Root cause: Network configuration or interface card fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Recon / system software hang
- Confirm the presentation - typically frozen console, acquisition timeout - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: workstation or storage degradation.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the workstation / GPU per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

Alcon has detected an increase in complaint reports related to sharpness for specific ClearCut Dual Bevel Sideport and A-OK Corneal/Scleral V-Lance Ophthalmic knives.
- RECALL
Due to complaints of particulates, residue, occlusions, and bent tips for sterile cannulas.
- RECALL
Sterility; Steril surgical procedure packs contain incomplete seals.
- RECALL
Reports have been received concerning mold found on gowns included in custom ophthalmic surgery packages.
- RECALL
The third-party brand latex micro surgical gloves packaged within specific custom packs may have a degradation defect that could lead to holes and donning tears at the folding area around the cuffs. This could increase the potential risk of infection or cross-patient (clinician) exposure to body fluids.
- RECALL
Analysis of the completed dataset from the COMPASS-XT long-term study showed that the CyPass Micro-Stent group experienced statistically significant endothelial cell loss (ECL) compared to the group who underwent cataract surgery alone.
- RECALL
Potential for the optical head to detach from the stand due to the lack of thread adhesive.
- RECALL
Multiple shipments or forceful impact to a caster on a LuxOr/LX3 microscope may stress the microscope base, which could contribute to a caster breaking or detaching from the base.
- RECALL
The recalled lot of custom paks are labeled as latex free and contain latex gloves rather than the specified non-latex gloves.
- RECALL
The supplier of the Devon Light Glove, a component of the Alcon Custom PAK, recalled the gloves due to the potential for splits and holes on the glove. Should the user be unaware that the Light Glove is torn/split, surgical site infections are possible.
- RECALL
The recalling firm received complaints related to leakage from the tubing near the white luer of the irrigation line for the INFINITI Ultrasound Packs.
- RECALL
Alcon LenSx received reports of unexpected downward motion of the gantry.
- RECALL
This medical device correction is related to Alcon products that present a 23G non-valved trocar cannula and infusion cannula together because of an issue regarding the loose fit between the 23G non-valved trocar cannula and infusion cannula that could potentially cause a detachment between the non-valved trocar cannula and infusion cannula during surgery.
- RECALL
Alcon identified system performance and machine settings that may impact the infusion performance of the CONSTELLATION Vision System, causing unexpected shut down, unresponsive touch screens, and fluidics issues.
