Why it was recalled

When performing head or neck scans, the currently displayed SAR values could be lower than the actual SAR in the head as predicted by SAR modeling. The predicted HEAD SAR value from the modeling suggests the actual SAR in the head could exceed IEC60601-2-33 limit of 3.2 W/kg for some scans.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
