Philips Ingenuity TF PET/MRI Recalled for Incorrect Chemical Shift Imaging Data

Philips Medical Systems is recalling 10 Ingenuity TF PET/MRI systems because the spectroscopy voxel map did not align with anatomical images, resulting in incorrect orientation of Chemical Shift Imaging data.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a data alignment issue without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. This fits the criteria for a moderate severity score involving low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary measures where harm has not been reported.
