Philips Ingenia Elition X MRI system recalled for stiffness value errors in elastography maps
What this means
Philips Ingenia Elition X MRI systems with certain software versions (R11.1 and R12.1) may display incorrect stiffness values when MR elastography maps are exported to a PACS viewer. This could lead to misinterpretation of tissue stiffness measurements used in clinical diagnosis.
- Check if your Ingenia Elition X system matches one of the affected product codes and serial numbers listed in the recall
- If affected, contact Philips North America for a software update or instructions
- Do not rely on exported elastography stiffness values from these systems until the issue is resolved
