Where it was sold
Why it was recalled
Due to an internal communication error between the firmware and the software of the components, the planned CT scan executes properly, but the injector is not started. Therefore, the contrast agent is not injected and the desired examination result is not achieved. This error only affects the automatic mode or coupled mode and does not affect the manual control of the injector.
This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
