Toshiba Aquilion CT System Recall for Potential Data Loss

Toshiba is recalling 459 Aquilion CT Systems because specific multi-phase scanning operations may prevent raw data from being saved.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a software defect causing data loss rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc is recalling 459 units of the Toshiba Aquilion CT System TSX-301C. The recall covers systems equipped with software version 6.0 or later that were distributed in the United States, including Puerto Rico.

The recall is issued because if two specific operations are performed during multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved. This issue affects the integrity of the data acquired during these specific scanning procedures.

Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc for further instructions on how to address the potential data loss issue.
