Philips Spectral CT on Rails Model 728334 recalled for software defects affecting scan operations
What this means
Philips has identified three software issues in the Spectral CT on Rails Model 728334 that may affect scan operations. The gantry (rotating scanner) may not move to the correct position after pressing start; a required confirmation message may not appear; and a menu option may become unavailable during brain imaging setup. Three systems worldwide are affected.
- Contact Philips Medical Systems immediately if you operate this model
- Do not perform scans until you receive guidance from Philips
- Request a software update from your Philips representative
The agency's original wording
Philips has identified three software issues: 1. During a continuous CT (CCT) scan, there is the potential that the Gantry could remain at the current scan position after pressing Go. 2. Potential where the message of Previous Surview Exists Select Previous Surview? <Yes> or <No> should display but does not appear. 3. After performing Surview and planning the Brain Helical acquisition by setting Brain Area DoseRight Index to increase the dose, there is the potential that the Define Head Area option in the context menu is grayed out.
