Reason for recall
The A-plane compensator is made of Teflon which will become fragile due to X-ray exposure passing through it. The thinnest part of the compensator is subject to radiation degradation and as a result has been found to fail prematurely. Failure is indicated by pin or ring artifact in the image
Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
