Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
Brilliance CT Big Bore with software version V4.8.0.10421 Model:728244 CT scanner and simulator designed for radiation oncology and therapy.
Why it was recalled
For oncology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT device a shift could be observed on the contouring area of the primary and secondary images sets when using image fusion (on TPS) and incorrect coordinates may be sent to TPS system when using absolute patient marking. This may lead to incorrect radiation therapy planning and possible growth or spread of cancer due to incorrect early treatment regimen. For radiology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT devices, after multiple acquisitions, the Relate Position could be inaccurate. This could lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
