Philips recalls BrightView XCT Gamma Cameras with specific serial numbers due to potential patient extremity entrapment during quality scans, risking fractures, lacerations, or loss of function.
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 XCT Gamma Cameras with certain serial numbers because a gap can form between the patient support and detector during quality scans, potentially causing entrapment injuries like fractures or lacerations. This risk affects medical facilities using the equipment for patient scans.
