Firm Action

On October 18, 2018, Philips notices to their customers via courier service. Customers were advised to take the following actions: If any unusual noise is heard, discontinue use of the system immediately and contact your Philips representative for support. Field Order Change (FCO) 72800703 will be deployed to initiate an inspection of the front gantry cover. If the inspection finds evidence of weakening at this connection point, a temporary repair solution will be put in place to secure the cover for continued system use. FCO 72800704 will then be deployed to replace the affected front cover. A Philips Field Service Engineer will contact you to schedule the inspection of your system. Customers in need of further information or support concerning this issue, please contact your local Philips representative (North America & Canada) 1-800-722-9377.
