Philips North America is recalling one Spectral CT on Rails system, software version 5.1.0, due to a control system defect. When using the IVC needle position button during scans, the plan box may fail to move correctly, causing the gantry to move to an unexpected location. This specific unit (Model 728334, Lot 1005) was distributed in Minnesota.
Unexpected movement of the gantry poses a risk of physical collision with the medical operator or the biopsy needle. Additionally, if the gantry moves incorrectly, medical scans may occur at the wrong anatomical location, potentially impacting diagnosis or treatment.
