Why it was recalled

Perfusion scan feature may not be available on machines running software versions 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and 4.1.4. Customers previously using the basic axial perfusion software (versions preceding 4.1.2) without buying the helical perfusion license key could not access the basic axial perfusion feature after upgrading to software version 4.1.2.

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