Philips North America is recalling 428 units of the Incisive Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray system due to a software error. During the initialization of a scan, the patient tabletop may unexpectedly move to its 'home' position. This movement can occur without warning, potentially causing the tabletop to collide with an operator or bystander standing at the rear of the table. The affected devices include systems running Incisive CT Software versions upgraded from V4.5.1.41921 to V4.5.1.41989.
The patient tabletop can move unexpectedly toward the rear of the machine during startup, creating a crush or impact hazard. This poses a risk of physical injury to hospital staff or bystanders who may be standing in the path of the moving table.
