Philips recalls Brilliance iCT CT scanners with specific serial numbers due to potential unsecured rotor parts that could be expelled during operation. Affected units may need repair or replacement.
As part of the CT systems sub assembly, thirty-two (32) fasteners are used to attach the rotor to the bearing within the gantry. One or more of these fasteners may not be torqued to specification. If multiple fasteners are not torqued to specification, the rotor or rotor parts may become unsecured or displaced. While there has been no reported or observed event of expelled parts during gantry rotation, unsecured rotor parts may potentially be expelled.
Philips is recalling specific models of Brilliance iCT CT scanners because some fasteners might not be tightened correctly. This could cause parts to become loose and potentially be expelled during scanning, posing a risk of injury.
The CT scanner's rotor (the rotating part) may become loose due to fasteners not being tightened properly. This could cause parts to be expelled during operation, potentially causing injury.
Medical facilities using the recalled Brilliance iCT CT scanners are most at risk. Patients and staff could be affected if the scanner malfunctions during use.
