source quote (p.8)

“Auto Positioning uses a fixed, ceiling mounted, off the shelf, 2D/3D video camera that is capable of determining distances to points in its field of view. It displays standard RGB video images on the CT system's existing gantry-mounted touchscreens. Information from the standard output of the camera, precise spatial information of the individual CT system's gantry and table installation geometry, and information contained in the user-selected protocol is used to determine the anatomical landmark location and the start and end locations for the scout scan(s).Auto Positioning uses Deep Learning CNNs to determine the scout's landmark location and the patient orientation based on the standard outputs from the 2D/3D camera and the information in the user selected protocol.”

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device). Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.
