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, and the hazard involves potential mislabeling of medical images without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 92 units of the Ingenuity CT, Model # 728326, computed tomography x-ray system. The recall is due to a software issue where, in certain instances, cardiac step and shoot acquisitions with phase tolerance selected may result in images being labeled as if phase tolerance had been applied when it had not.

The affected systems were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and numerous other countries. The recall covers specific system serial numbers listed in the agency documentation.

Healthcare facilities should contact Philips Medical Systems for instructions on how to resolve the issue. Patients who have had cardiac imaging performed on these systems should consult their healthcare provider to determine if their images require review or re-acquisition.
