United Imaging uCT 760 CT System Recalled for Image Artifacts

Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare is recalling five uCT 760 CT systems due to intermittent image artifacts and scanning interruptions that may require patient rescans.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (radiation exposure) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. is recalling five units of the uCT 760 System, a computed tomography x-ray system. The recall affects specific serial numbers (600229, 600230, 600232, 600271, and 600282) running specific software versions. The devices were distributed to two customers located in Houston, Texas.

The recall was initiated because two issues were identified with the system: an intermittent issue that may affect image data leading to artifacts, and intermittent scout scanning interruption caused by occasional angle signal drift. These technical failures may result in the need to rescan patients, which could expose them to an additional dose of radiation and the possible use of additional contrast media.

The source text does not specify instructions for consumers or healthcare providers on how to proceed with the recall, nor does it report any injuries or illnesses associated with the device malfunction.
