Firm Action
URGENT - Field Safety Notice letters dated August 6, 2014 were sent to all consignees of record. The letters instructed consignees: 1) The unit is equipped with a safety switch in the drive handle. If the drive handle is released the unit will stop; 2) Do not try to correct unintended movement using the controls on the drive handle; 3) Instead, stop the system immediately by releasing the drive handle entirely; 4) Alternatively, the emergency button can be pressed; 5) Take special care when the system crosses metal strips or plates on the floor or enters an elevator, as these are situations where electrostatic discharge is likely to occur; and, 6) Should the customer feel uncertain regarding this action, he/she can contact Philips Healthcare.
