Reason for recall
When exporting merged results from the BOLD, DSC, and DCE modules of nordicBrainEx, where both the underlay and overlay originated from a multiframe dataset, the resulting output may have left/right sides flipped.
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.
