Check the sensor for dust....there is always a chance some dust got on the sensor one way or another. This should be obvious.

If it is dust, you can also attempt to blow it off.  A medium format back lends itself to this much better
than a DSLR.  Don't use canned air, but a hand blower.  Give it a good blowing.  I have only had to
use the cleaning fluid on my P45 once and that was for a smear that came on it from the company.
