The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Intermittent Program or Algorithm Execution” (7 reports).

16 FDA recall records name at least one of these models by its device identifier, 13 still open.

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

Incisive CT recalls

FDA recall records that name at least one of these models by its device identifier, newest first. Each recall usually covers specific models or lots, so check the details.

    If the screws of tube heat exchanger on the rotating scanner are not tightened well after replacing. This component may become detached and make contact with other components located within the Incisive CT systems during rotation. Other components could be damaged due to the contact with the tube heat exchanger.

  3. Sep 25, 2025Open, Classified

    Issue 1: The potential for unintentional continued gantry/couch movement when a specific button series is used requiring use of manual stop. Issue 2. When performing a helical/Axial scan with ORI (Dose Right index)/ DOM (Dose Modulation), the WED (Water Equivalent Diameter) value might set itself to zero, and this may lead to an insufficient dose setting after the surview. If operator misses the insufficient dose and the WED value in User Interface and continues with the subsequent helical/Axial scans, then the obtained images will be noisy due to low dose setting. Issue 3: Due to a software failure, the ECG wave file is not saved. As a result, the cardiac offline image reconstruction fails due to the missing ECG wave file, and the user might rescan the patient. Issue 4: This issue is software fault in which the patient orientation will be changed to NULL under specific random scenarios resulting in radiation being delivered from the wrong orientation (surview scan) or in the wrong position (clinical scan) and will generate incorrect and undiagnosable surview/clinical images. Patients may be rescanned for surview and/or clinical images. Issue 5: During scanning, the preview image display is not consistent, the images are not arriving at a fixed rate, skipping images from time to time during scanning. The obtained images might not support making the clinical diagnosis and the user might decide to re-scan the patient. Issue 6: If a user presses the left and middle/right mouse buttons together or afterwards in a short time, both commands are executed and an incorrect auto ROI is created. This ROI coordinates won t be assigned as the object is empty. As a result, the threshold of contrast level will not be reached in the UI and this will prevent the system from automatically triggering the subsequent clinical scan. There is potential safety risk identified for additionally tracker shots and/or rescan of a patient when the clinical scan is not triggered. This issue only affects the manual ROI process.

    If the Patient Interface Monitor (PIM) Cable is plugged/unplugged frequently as part of daily operation, the connector and wire may disconnect from the welding point, which may result in intermittent loss of the ECG signal. Loss of ECG signal may lead to the decision to rescan the patient or delay in diagnosis during a clinical emergency.

    Multiple software issues which have the potential to lead to misdiagnosis due to image artifacts or incorrect image orientation labels, or the need for a CT rescan. These include: 1. Artifacts may occur on perfusion images, 2. Orientation label reversed in 2D images, 3. Auto voice does not work during the cardiac scan, 4. Auto voice and operators voice are too quiet, patient cant hear, 5. Not all of the images are reconstructed in some cases, 6. No image displayed on the console monitor after enabling CCT Single Scan, 7. Ring artifact appears in 32x0.625 collimation of bone scan when soft tissue view is selected, 8. A design defect where the error couch motion signal of couch firmware causes couch to identify current position as target position in next protocol, and 9. calcium scoring study split into separate series after loading to ISP.
