Reason for Recall

Philips has identified that certain fasteners cannot be confirmed to have been torqued according to specification. If the fasteners were not torqued as specified and a failure occurs while the system is in use, the parts secured by the fasteners may become loose, which may have a potential for harm.

Firm Action

An Urgent - Field Safety Notice Medical Device Correction letter, dated November 1, 2017, was sent to customers. The letter identified the affected device, described the issue, and discussed the hazard involved. Users are to cease use immediately and contact their Philips Field Service Engineer, if any unusual noises are heard within the gantry, or if the patient support tabletop is in free float. Philips Field Service Engineers will correct the system by replacing the affected fasteners. If further info or support concerning this issue is needed, customers can contact their local Philips rep or the Customer Care Solutions Center at 1-800-722-9377.
