Toshiba Celesteion CT Scanner Recalled for Potential Reconstruction Errors

Toshiba is recalling 165 Celesteion CT scanners because a reconstruction error may interrupt scanning if the scan range exceeds the maximum field of view.

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 source explicitly states the issue has not occurred in the U.S. and the hazard is a system interruption rather than a direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate, precautionary recall.
