Why these products were recalled

The latest on-site software version may not have been reinstalled at some sites after service activities were performed resulting in images possibly flipped left/right and/or there can be patient data mismatch.

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.
