Philips North America Llc has recalled 370 Spectral CT Computed Tomography X-ray systems (Part No. 728333) due to software defects. These issues can cause the gantry or the patient table to move unexpectedly and without command, which may lead to the equipment making physical contact with patients or medical staff. Additionally, these software issues can negatively affect the overall scanning and diagnostic performance of the CT system. The affected units were distributed in 19 US states and multiple foreign countries between May and June 2025.
The unintended movement of heavy medical equipment like a CT gantry or table poses a risk of impact or crushing injuries to both operators and patients. Furthermore, software-related performance issues could lead to suboptimal imaging, potentially affecting diagnosis or necessitating repeat radiation exposure.
Quantity affected: 370 units.
