Philips is recalling 12 Brilliance iCT SP 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 defect or safety hazard, fitting the criteria for cosmetic or documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 12 units of the Brilliance iCT SP Computed Tomography X-ray system. The recall involves specific serial numbers and is distributed worldwide, including the United States and numerous international locations.
