Philips recalls Spectral CT devices with specific serial numbers due to potential unsecured rotor parts from improperly torqued fasteners. No injuries reported, but devices may expel parts during operation.
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 Spectral CT medical imaging devices with certain serial numbers because fasteners holding the rotor could be improperly tightened. This might cause parts to become loose or dislodge during use, potentially leading to injury.
The CT system uses 32 fasteners to secure the rotor. If not tightened correctly, parts may become loose or displace. While no injuries have been reported, unsecured parts could potentially be expelled during machine operation.
