There is a potential for separation of fiberglass resin which may cause the gantry front cover and the metal support on the cover to fail/fall
Philips Medical Systems is recalling certain Brilliance 16 Slice CT scanners (model 728246) because fiberglass resin inside the machine may separate and cause the gantry front cover and metal support to fail. This could lead to the cover falling off during use, posing a safety risk.
The fiberglass resin inside the scanner's gantry may separate over time, causing the front cover and its metal support to become unstable. If this happens during use, the cover could fall off, potentially causing injury to staff or patients.
Medical facilities that own or use the recalled Brilliance 16 Slice CT scanners (model 728246) with specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice are most at risk. Patients and staff using these scanners could be affected if the gantry cover fails during operation.
