Plain-English summary
The Incisive CT Power X-Ray System (Model 728148), manufactured by Philips, is the subject of a Class II recall due to a potential issue that may cause CT images to be displayed with incorrect orientation. Images may appear flipped or reversed from their correct presentation.
When CT images are displayed with incorrect orientation, physicians may misinterpret anatomical findings, potentially leading to misdiagnosis or incorrect clinical treatment decisions. If the orientation error is identified during clinical review and a rescan is performed to obtain correctly oriented images, the patient may receive additional, unnecessary radiation exposure.
