Official wording

Reason: Two issues were identified with the computed tomography x-ray system including a service function which may cause false marking of a bad channel resulting in ring artifacts, and potential intermittent scout scanning interruption due to occasional angle signal drift.. If these problems occur, it may be necessary to rescan the patient resulting in an additional dose of radiation and the possible need for additional contrast medium.

Code information: Units with software version no. R001.11.0.729741-Re-1100 including the following: Serial number/GTIN: 300162 (GTIN: 6971576831012); 300163 (GTIN: 6971576831012); 300174 (GTIN: 6971576831012); and 300176 (GTIN: 6971576831012).
