Net error. The Error message(s) Gantry reached inner limit or Gantry reached out limit may be seen on the CT System at the time of occurence. The CT system may stop operating properly after an attempt to cancel the error message has been initiated. The error may result in the patient needing to be moved to another system for a repeat scan, which could cause a delay in diagnosis or decrease comfort for the patient. Customers are being informed that the Recalling Firm has developed a software update that will be installed by a representative of Canon Medical Systems USA that should correct the issue/situation. Prior to the install of the software update, the Urgent customer letter provides a Error resetting (workaround) as follows: 1.
