Why Was This Recalled?
The Neonate Head protocol with the pediatric kernel Hp38 could result in artefacts and possibly lead to a misdiagnosis (i.e. either non-existing blood or liquid is mimicked in the images or actual existing blood or liquid is not depicted as expected). There is also a risk of a potential misdiagnosis in using this protocol for surgery planning. Investigations revealed an incorrect parameterization of the reconstruction algorithm applied for the pediatric head kernel as cause of the problem.
Where Was This Sold?
This product was distributed nationwide across all 50 states.
