Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 108 units of the Computed Tomography X-Ray System Brilliance Workspace Portal, Model #728269. The recall involves specific software versions, including 2.6.1.4, distributed worldwide to the United States and 14 other countries.
The recall was initiated because the software automatically segments coronary arteries in rendered images but fails to extract or highlight the center line when the user hovers over the vessel. This defect makes it impossible to activate the vessel and select the appropriate name from the drop-down menu, preventing correct labeling of the arteries.
