Reason for recall
During installation of certain Nuclear Medicine systems delivered with dismounted detectors, some detector screws may not have been secured correctly, leading to the possible loss of one detector mounting design redundancy.
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.
