Why these products were recalled

Upgraded software version makes an automatic change in laser configuration settings for "markerless workflow" which may lead to the wrong laser offset coordinates being displayed in the Patient Marking step.

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.
