OTHERNationwide distributionMedical devices

What this means

Certain uCT ATLAS Astound computed tomography systems have a software problem that can hide patient images on the administration interface when specific functions are enabled and multiple exams are merged. This may require patients to undergo repeat scans.

  • If your facility operates an affected uCT ATLAS Astound system, contact Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co., Ltd. for a software update or corrective instructions
  • Review recent merged studies to identify any that may need rescanning
  • Do not merge multiple RIS exams into a single study until the software issue is resolved
