Neusoft NeuViz 64 CT Scanner Recalled for Image Loss Defect

Neusoft Medical Systems is recalling 37 NeuViz 64 CT scanners due to a software defect that can cause image loss during specific scans.

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. The hazard is a software defect resulting in image loss, which is a diagnostic quality issue rather than a direct physical injury or acute health risk, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk or precautionary issues without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd. is recalling 37 units of the NeuViz 64 Multi-slice CT Scanner System. The recall is due to a software defect affecting the ClearView function during Helical scans. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The defect involves electromagnetic interference that can occur when a small arc (uninterrupted scan) happens during the scanning process. This interference may affect the control signal of the flying focal spot, leading to an incorrect sequence. If the system does not detect an error, it will continue the scan with the incorrect sequence, which can result in the loss of some reconstructed images.

Healthcare facilities and users of the NeuViz 64 Multi-slice CT Scanner System should contact Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd. for instructions on how to resolve the software defect. The recall is limited to the specific serial numbers listed in the agency's official documentation.
