Why these products were recalled

Siemens Medical Solutions, Molecular Imaging has become aware of a potential for unexpected SUV values if a non-Siemens phantom is used for calibration.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
