Reason for recall

The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients. If the QBC seal becomes loose during the scanning process, the risk to the patient may include skin abrasions, bruises, lacerations, hair loss/entanglement, and tissue injury.

Packaging recalls include wrong labels, wrong products in the wrong bottle, missing leaflets, short-filled or empty capsules and seals that fail.
