Philips North America Llc has recalled approximately 910 CT systems, including various models in the Brilliance, Ingenuity, Big Bore, iCT, and IQon series. The recall was initiated because the patient support table (couch) may descend unexpectedly to its lowest position due to a component misalignment (the ball screw) following a replacement procedure. If the table drops during a scan, it could interrupt the exam or potentially cause physical injury to the patient or medical staff. Philips has notified affected customers via letter to arrange for necessary inspections and corrections.
A misaligned ball screw component can cause the patient table to lose its mechanical hold and drop suddenly to its lowermost position. This unexpected movement poses a risk of traumatic injury to patients currently being scanned or staff working near the equipment.
