Philips is recalling 30 Brilliance 64 CT systems because the perfusion scan feature may be unavailable on specific software versions.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a software feature availability issue rather than a physical safety hazard or risk of injury, fitting the criteria for low severity.
Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 30 units of the Brilliance 64 Computed Tomography X-ray system. The recall involves machines running software versions 4.1.2, 4.1.3, and 4.1.4, where the perfusion scan feature may not be available.
The issue affects customers who previously used basic axial perfusion software (versions preceding 4.1.2) without purchasing the helical perfusion license key. These users could not access the basic axial perfusion feature after upgrading to software version 4.1.2.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous other countries. The specific serial numbers for the 30 affected units are listed in the official recall documentation.
