Reason for Recall

When using manual mode, the tabletop may not completely move in or out and result in potential delay in patient evacuation from the bore, which could result in a delay of treatment

Firm Action

Philips notified U.S. customers an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter on 8/11/21. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: Philips advises that customers continue to utilize the primary motorized function for the MR system since the identified issue with the HDU does not occur in the motorized mode. If you utilize the manual function and it is not functioning properly, then you must perform table movement using the motorized function. A Philips Field Service Engineer (FSE) will perform a HDU during the next scheduled preventive maintenance visit. If the issue is detected in the HDU, the Philips FSE will replace the necessary mechanical component(s) to resolve the issue. If you need additional information or support concerning this issue, please contact the Customer Care Solutions Center (1-800-722-9377) and reference FCO78100527.
