    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    (B)(4). THE DEVICE REFERENCED IN THIS REPORT WAS NOT RETURNED TO SIEMENS FOR EVALUATION; HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM LOG FILES WERE CAPTURED AND ANALYZED. DURING THE ANALYSIS, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS NOT STORING IMAGES DUE TO "CHECK-IN" FAILURES. WHEN SUBMITTING PATIENT INFORMATION IDENTICAL TO AN EXISTING PATIENT, EXCEPT FOR CASE DIFFERENCES IN THE PATIENT NAME, A SOFTWARE BUG WILL NOT ALLOW STORING OF IMAGES. THE IMAGE STORING ISSUE WAS RESOLVED IN SOFTWARE UPDATES VA35E (RELEASED 7 OCTOBER 2015), VB10D (RELEASED 10 JUNE 2016), AND VB20A (RELEASED 17 APRIL 2017). REFERENCE COMPLAINT # (B)(4).
