Philips Incisive CT X-Ray System Recall: PIM Cable May Cause ECG Signal Loss
Philips recalls Incisive CT models 728143/728144 with specific PIM cable part numbers due to risk of ECG signal loss during emergencies. Affected units may require replacement of the cable to prevent delays in diagnosis.
If the Patient Interface Monitor (PIM) Cable is plugged/unplugged frequently as part of daily operation, the connector and wire may disconnect from the welding point, which may result in intermittent loss of the ECG signal. Loss of ECG signal may lead to the decision to rescan the patient or delay in diagnosis during a clinical emergency.
