Plain-English summary
Philips North America has recalled certain units of the Incisive CT-Computed Tomography X-Ray System, Model 728143. The recall affects 36 units distributed in the United States and 610 units distributed internationally across multiple countries.
A metal mounting box located on the rotating scanner (referred to as the heat exchanger box or rotor) within the system may become detached or expelled during operation. This component is mounted on the scanner's rotating assembly.
If the metal box becomes detached and makes contact with other internal components, it may cause injury to users. If the box detaches, the system will emit a loud noise and shut down, preventing further diagnostic procedures.
Healthcare facilities and users with affected systems should verify their unit's serial number against the manufacturer's recall list. Contact Philips North America for instructions on replacement, repair, or other remedial actions.
