There is a quality issue with the three bolts that hold the CT balancing weights, which could create a safety issue.
Siemens is recalling specific models of Symbia Intevo Bold and Symbia Intevo 6 SPECT/CT systems because bolts holding CT balancing weights may be defective. This could create a safety issue if the system becomes unstable during operation.
