Reason for Recall

The AutoSPECT Pro application was only designed to reconstruct cardiac SPECT data obtained with detectors positioned at 90 or 180 relative to one another. However, certain gamma cameras allow for other relative detector angles. Data acquired at these other angles will not be correctly reconstructed by AutoSPECT Pro and the results will likely be erroneous.

Firm Action

On March 4, 2016, the firm sent an URGENT - Field Safety Notice Medical Device Correction letter to their customers. The letter identified the affected device, the reason for the recall, and under what circumstances the problem occurs. Customers are to contact Philips as described if they are unsure whether their gamma cameras supports the modes. The firm will implement the AutoSPECT Pro software upgrade and contact customers to schedule the appointment. If further assistance or support is needed, customers are to contact their local Philips representative.
