Why Was This Recalled?
Potential safety issue related to unintended radial detector motion, which may occur during patient setup or at the end of a patient scan. This failure mode has been observed on a single system, in which the detector moved to the home position and then slowly starting drifting inward toward the patient. This generated both a visual and audio alert condition on both the console and the gantry. N
