Reason for recall
Loss of image data: Software anomaly in the Processing Software on the Definium 8000 system may impact patient safety when using the VolumeRAD advanced application (option).

This prevents the visualization of anatomy WITHIN a distance of 17mm from the wallstand patient barrier (receptor cover).
