Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

During a whole-body planar scan with auto-contour, there is a possibility the short-linear drive (SLD) look-ahead sensors may trigger earlier than expected and may result in detector 1 positioning further from the patient than needed leading to a reduction in image resolution.

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