Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems is recalling IQon Spectral CT systems and IQon Spectral CT Upgrades. The recall covers 42 units distributed nationwide in the US, including Puerto Rico. Affected product identifiers include FCO72800812, FCO72800814, 728331, 728332, and DI (01)00884838059542.
During a clinical CT scan, the scan may not automatically trigger after the Bolus Tracking scan and may need to be triggered manually. Additional Bolus Tracking shots may also occur. This can result in the clinical acquisition being inadequate for diagnosis, which may require the patient to be rescanned and receive additional radiation.
Healthcare facilities using the affected IQon Spectral CT systems are the affected population. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II. The notice does not report any injuries and does not list specific remediation steps; users should consult the FDA recall notice and contact Philips Medical Systems for further guidance.
