What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 135 Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray systems, including Brilliance and Ingenuity models, due to a manufacturing defect in the service latch assembly. The block assembly-lock stop subframe of the service latch was not manufactured to engineering specifications by the supplier, which can cause the threaded rod on the patient support service latch to fracture prematurely.
As a result of this defect, the table top can become free-floating due to the disengaged service latch in the table top's subframe. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, including the states of California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, and Texas.
Healthcare facilities should contact Philips Medical Systems to arrange for the repair or replacement of the affected components. Consumers and patients should contact their healthcare provider if they have questions regarding the status of the equipment used for their imaging.
