Philips recalls specific Ingenuity CT scanners (models 728325/728326) due to potential couch movement during patient loading/unloading if Emergency Stop is closed, which could cause injury.
Closing the Emergency Stop may disable the horizontal motor, allowing the couch top to move during patient load or unload activities.
