Philips Brilliance iCT SP CT Systems Patient Support Table Descent
Philips is recalling Brilliance iCT SP CT systems due to a ball screw misalignment that may cause the patient support table to descend unexpectedly to its lowest position.
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.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of medical imaging equipment where the hazard—unexpected descent of a patient support table—presents a risk of patient injury (fall, crush, or trauma). The source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, but the mechanical failure creates a credible risk of harm in a clinical setting.
