Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is recalling 93 units of the Brilliance CT 16 System. This is a whole-body computed tomography X-ray system intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body.
The recall was initiated because Philips was notified that the system logout function in software version 2.3.6 is longer than expected and may sometimes fail to log out. This failure may require a forced system restart or a hard shutdown using the power button.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and several international countries. No specific consumer action is detailed in the source text beyond the identification of the affected serial numbers.
