Why these products were recalled

After upgrading to 3.6.7 software version via FCO72800643, during reconstruction of gated helical scans, the planned anatomy can be cut off on the CT images. This issue can occur on gated CT helical reconstruction that is not planned at iso-center (0,0). If the region of interest is not visualized in the images, a CT rescan may be performed.

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.
