Reason for Recall

When exporting diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans from a MR system using the Enhanced MR DICOM format, the exports contain incorrect data (diffusion directions). If the Enhanced MR DICOM export is used in conjunction with third-party software for tractography (e.g. for mapping nerve fiber pathways in the brain), the software will not be able to correctly process the DTI data for reconstruction.

Firm Action

On August 28, 2026, URGENT Medical Device Correction letters were sent to customers. Actions to be taken: 1. To prevent the issue from occurring while Philips is developing the software solution, use the Classic DICOM transfer option for exporting DTI scans. 2. You may continue to use your system(s) in accordance with the intended use. 3. Circulate this notice to all users of this device so that they are aware of the issue and associated hazard/harm. 4. Please retain this Urgent Medical Device Correction letter with your system(s) until the software upgrade is installed; ensure the notice is in a place likely to be seen/viewed.
