Why it was recalled

After upgrading to 3.6.7 software version via FCO72800643, during reconstruction of gated helical scans, the planned anatomy can be cut off on the CT images. This issue can occur on gated CT helical reconstruction that is not planned at iso-center (0,0). If the region of interest is not visualized in the images, a CT rescan may be performed.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
