Philips recalls BrightView X Gamma Cameras with specific serial numbers due to potential patient injury risks during quality scans. The gap between patient support and detector may cause entrapment, fractures, or lacerations.
While using Pre-Programmed Motion during an extrinsic quality assurance scan, a gap is created between the patient support and the detector, which may present a potential extremity entrapment hazard. Risk to patients may include fracture, body part loss of function/debilitation, muscle or ligament sprain or strain, laceration, crush injury, abrasion, or contusion.
Philips is recalling BrightView X Gamma Cameras with certain serial numbers because a gap can form during scans, risking patient injury like fractures or lacerations. This is serious for medical users who perform quality assurance scans.
