Canon recalls Aquilion One TSX-301A CT scanners due to scanning interruptions causing data loss. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
Scanning may be interrupted due to an error during execution of the eXam Plan and the system is unable to be shut down normally, resulting in the need to forcibly turn the system power off and reboot. Loss of the acquired raw data would occur.
