What the authority reported
Philips has become aware of a potential safety issue affecting Brightview systems that may present an extremity entrapment hazard to patients during a scan. While using pre-programmed motion (PPM) during an extrinsic quality assurance scan, a gap is created between the patient support and the detector. This gap presents a potential extremity entrapment hazard for patients while the system detectors and patient support are in motion. Recall Start Date: December 8, 2023
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
