Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall involving a structural failure risk (shaft wear) that could result in serious injury.

Plain-English summary

Philips North America LLC is recalling Monitor Bracket Assemblies used with Continuous CT Fluoroscopy DVI Ceiling Mount and CCT Arm DVI imaging systems. These assemblies are components of Brilliance 16, Brilliance 10, Brilliance 6, and Extended Brilliance Workspace CT and PET/CT systems. Approximately 1,301 monitor bracket assemblies have been distributed worldwide.

Significant wear of the Monitor Bracket Assembly shaft may occur unrecognized. If undetected, this wear could cause the bracket assembly to detach from the suspension arm. Should detachment occur, the monitor may fall while remaining attached to the cables, creating a potential hazard of serious injury to patients, operators, bystanders, or service personnel.
