Plain-English summary
Philips is recalling the Spectral CT on Rails, model number 728334, software version 5.1. The action covers three systems.
Philips has identified three software issues. First, during a continuous CT scan the gantry could remain at the current scan position after Go is pressed. Second, a prompt asking whether to select a previous surview should display but may not appear. Third, after performing a surview and planning a brain helical acquisition with the Brain Area DoseRight Index set to increase the dose, the Define Head Area option may behave incorrectly. The FDA classified the action as Class II.
Distribution was worldwide, covering Minnesota in the United States as well as France and the Netherlands. The systems are installed in hospital imaging departments rather than sold to consumers.
Facilities should identify affected systems using the model number and UDI codes in the recall notice and follow the instructions issued by Philips.
