Neusoft NeuViz 128 CT Scanner Recalled for Software Defect

Neusoft Medical Systems is recalling six NeuViz 128 CT scanners due to a software defect that may 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, but the hazard is limited to image loss due to a software defect without reports of patient injury or death, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Neusoft Medical Systems Co., Ltd. is recalling six units of the NeuViz 128 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 during small arc scans. This interference may disrupt the control signal for the flying focal spot, leading to an incorrect sequence. If the system does not detect an error, it continues the scan with the incorrect sequence, which can result in the loss of some reconstructed images.

The recall covers six specific units with the following series numbers: N1281160084E, N1281160085E, N1281170161 E, N1281170231E, N1281180242E, and N1281180248E. Healthcare facilities should contact the manufacturer to arrange for the necessary software updates or repairs to resolve the issue.
