Philips CT Systems Recalled for Software Image Overlap Defect
Philips is recalling Brilliance 64 and Ingenuity CT systems because CIRS 4.0 Beta 2 software may cause images to overlap during reconstruction.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a software defect causing image overlap, which is a functional error rather than a direct physical injury risk, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
