Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 90 units of the BrightView XCT model number 882482. These are gamma cameras designed for single or dual detector nuclear imaging, including SPECT studies. The devices are used by trained healthcare professionals to perform planar static, dynamic, gated, and total body studies.
The recall is due to an error in the assembly of components within the brake hub mechanism after service. This error prevented the brake hub from engaging with the gear box shaft, which caused the detector to backdrive. The affected systems were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and numerous other international locations.
Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected BrightView XCT systems and contact Philips Medical Systems for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The recall includes specific government and international accounts, and users should verify their equipment against the provided serial numbers to determine if their unit is affected.
