Risks and Areas of Concern
Thrust bearing integration into design (currently in mail so we should have it soon)
Any interference from in-room controller and MRI machine
Is the PCB the right circuit for our application or will modifications have to be made? Initial testing indicated yes but if a bug appears it could be a problem to fix. Risk could be mitigated by using a prototyping PCB (breadboard with soldered components) if circuit rework becomes required.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
