Toshiba American Medical Systems Recalls

Hazard: If two specific operations are performed in multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved.

Hazard: If two specific operations are performed in multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved.

Hazard: If two specific operations are performed in multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved.

Hazard: If two specific operations are performed in multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved.

Hazard: It was found that if specific operations are performed in multi-phase helical scanning, the acquired raw data may not be saved due to a software problem.

Hazard: The table base rotational brake that holds the table top may not always be engaged when any force or side impact is applied to the table top.

Hazard: Potential problem with the cardiac function analysis software (CFA). Incorrect analysis results may be displayed in the Function Parameters for the Entire Heart displayed as analysis results of the CFA and in a Left-Ventricular Volume Curve generated based on some of those parameters.

Hazard: Potential problem with the cardiac function analysis software (CFA). Incorrect analysis results may be displayed in the Function Parameters for the Entire Heart displayed as analysis results of the CFA and in a Left-Ventricular Volume Curve generated based on some of those parameters.

Hazard: Although the Flat Panel Detector (FPD) touch sensor is activated during use, the error message is displayed and the audible signal continues sounding during the table movement of longitudinal tilt, the movement of longitudinal tilt does not stop.

Hazard: Toshiba intitiated this recall because their investigation revealed that due to a problem of the X-ray output control software, the X-ray output conditions may not be set correctly. As a result, X-ray exposure under the scan conditions used for contrast study may not start.

Hazard: Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. initiated this recall due to the failure of the parts used in the X-ray high-voltage generator. In some cases, X-ray exposure cannot be performed.

Hazard: Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling due to a potential problem with Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values when using the Toshiba Titan 3T System. When the system is used in combination with either the QD Head Coil (MJQH-142A) or the Large Knee SPEEDER (MJAJ-182A), SAR values lower than the actual SAR values may be displayed on the operating monitor.

Hazard: The firm initiated this recall of certain Toshiba Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems because it has been found that under certain conditions, the temperature of the transducer head may increase in 2D+PW mode or 2D+CDI (POWER, ADF) +PW mode. When the system is used under both conditions listed below, the temperature of the transducer head connected to the system may increase in temperature and possibly

Hazard: Firm initiated recall because when radiographic conditions with the small focus are set and the radiography ready switch is held down, the large focus is also heated after a few seconds or more. This occurs when the Automatic Exposure Function (AEC) function is used. As a result, a radiographic tube current exceeding the set value flows and a brighter image than expected is acquired.

Hazard: Toshiba Medical Systems has received reports of startup issues with the Toshiba TUS-500 and TUS-300 ultrasound systems. The startup issue is predominant when attempting to bring the system up from standby mode when the system is used remotely. It has been determined that this may potentially cause damage to the system.

Hazard: It was found that there is a problem with the LCD monitor used in the console. The LCD monitor may become blank during use. Specifically, the backlight of the LCD monitor may turn off while the system is in use, causing the LCD monitor to become blank. However, the other parts of the system continue to operate normally, and the risk of a serious health hazard is therefore very low. The LCD Moni

Hazard: Due to a problem with the control software of the x-ray high-voltage generator, if scanning is performed with a tube current less than 30mA, the control software may detect an error and perform error processing even though the x-ray output is normal.

Hazard: The firm initiated this recall due to a potential software issue. The DLP (Dose Length Product) value may be displayed incorrectly when the vHP option is used.

Hazard: Lost and incorrect images. When using the "F-Rec" fluoroscopy image acquisition recording option in the "manual mode" an infrequent software error may cause images from another study to be displayed on the monitor. The acquired images may be lost requiring additional image acquisitions to be performed.

Hazard: The SureStart function may not operate in the usual manner, and you may obtain abnormal analysis results when using the cerebral blood flow analysis function.

Hazard: The firm recalled due to a potentail problem with the position of the hold in the lug teminals on the power cables connected to the terminal blocks on the gradient coil.

Hazard: 1. It has been found that in raw data processing for Go&Return helical scanning, when the raw data acquired in the first scan (Go) and that acquired in the second scan (Return) are selected and reconstructed at one time, incorrect couch positions and scan times are displayed on the reconstructed images for the data acquired by Return scanning, while all related information is displayed on the reco

Hazard: The status display in the sequence queue window may not change from "Current" to "Done".

Hazard: The systems all have a similar table control board. It has been found that this board may cause the table position to be incorrect if the table cradle is moved manually. This is referred to as "Free" mode in the operation manuals. If this error does occur it is possible that the patient could be scanned at an incorrect position.
