Toshiba Aquilion CT System Recall for Data Loss Risk

Toshiba is recalling 459 Aquilion CT Systems because specific 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 data integrity issue (loss of raw data) 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-302A. The recall involves systems running software version 6.0 or later. These devices were distributed throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico.

The recall is due to a software issue where acquired raw data may not be saved if two specific operations are performed during multi-phase helical scanning. This defect could result in the loss of diagnostic data.

Healthcare facilities should contact Toshiba American Medical Systems Inc for instructions on how to address this issue. Consumers are not directly affected as this is a medical device used in clinical settings.
