| Reason | The AutoSPECT Pro application was only designed to reconstruct cardiac SPECT data obtained with detectors positioned at 90 or 180 relative to one another. However, certain gamma cameras allow for other relative detector angles. Data acquired at these other angles will not be correctly reconstructed by AutoSPECT Pro and the results will likely be erroneous. |
| Root cause | Software design |
| Action | On March 4, 2016, the firm sent an URGENT - Field Safety Notice Medical Device Correction letter to their customers.
