Philips CT scanners recalled for loose rotor fastener risk

Philips is recalling four CT scanner models because one or more of the 32 fasteners that attach the rotor to the gantry bearing may not be tightened to specification. If several fasteners are loose, rotor parts could become unsecured or displaced, and in theory could be expelled. The company reports no injuries and no observed parts being expelled during gantry rotation.
