Why it was recalled

It has been found that if the scan range extends beyond the maximum Field of View (FOV), a reconstruction operation error may occur. As a result, scanning may be interrupted and rebooting of the system may be necessary. Please note that this issue has not occurred in the U.S.

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