Reason for recall
A potential safety issue arises when an offset calculation is followed by a filter operation; correcting the image alignment after this sequence will result in incorrect offset values which could lead to incorrect repositioning of the patient and dose to wrong location.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
