What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
The Incisive CT Power (Model 728148) is a computed tomography X-ray scanner used in medical imaging. A metal mounting box that forms part of the rotating scanner's heat exchanger may detach from its current position within the system.
If the metal mounting box detaches, two problems may occur: the loose part could make contact with other internal components and potentially cause injury to the operator or technician, or the system may shut down after emitting a loud noise when the part separates.
The recall affects 53 units that were distributed outside the United States, with installations in over 50 countries including China, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Healthcare facilities and imaging centers with affected serial numbers should contact Philips North America for service instructions. The FDA recall number is Z-2260-2023.
