Reason for recall

After an upgrade of the software of the Overhead Tube Crane, there were isolated cases in which the Overhead Tube Crane movement does not stop when the movement button is released. Instead of stopping while the movement button is released, the Tube Head Crane moves to the intended position.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
