Philips IQon Spectral CT Software Recall for Misleading Calcium Score Reports
Philips is recalling IQon Spectral CT scanners with specific software versions because the Calcium Score report provides confusing and potentially misleading plaque analysis data.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect may lead to patient mistreatment, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc. is recalling 64 IQon Spectral CT scanners (Model No. 728332) running software version 4.7.0 or 4.7.2. These devices are computed tomography X-ray systems used to produce cross-sectional images of the body. The recall is due to a software defect affecting the "Impressions" section of the Calcium Score report.
The affected software generates reports that provide multiple analyses of the amount of plaque detected, presenting them as if they all apply to the patient at the same time. This confusing information is potentially misleading to the user and may lead to the mistreatment of the patient.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States. Users of these specific software versions should contact Philips Medical Systems for instructions on how to resolve the issue.
