Reason for recall
Software issues may affect the safety and performance of Spectral CT system(s). The issues may result in image artifacts, wrong slice thickness, or unintended system motion.
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.
