Firm Action

Consignees were notified of the recall by letter sent May 2014. They were instructed to do the following: Do not perform planning or review planning of transversal images on fused sagittal images which were generated through Mobi View postprocessing Instead, review the planning of transversal scans only on the unfused stations.
