| 2 Sep 2016 | Classified by FDA | +56 days |

Reason for recall
There have been instances in hospitals where the joint between the drive gear and the gantry base drive wheel has become loose, leading to fatigue failure of some of the securing bolts.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
