Manufacturer Narrative

Philips investigated this complaint and came to the following conclusion: the dose values with pre filter (0.1 cu + 1.0 mm al) were 10 times too high.During the last tube yield calibration the philips field service engineer has incorrectly entered the measured values.As a result the dose values with pre filter (0.1 cu + 1.0 mm al) were 10 times too high.So the patient did not receive a high dose, but 10 times less as indicated in the initial report.Therefore we do not consider this as a serious injury.The field service engineer could correct this issue and the tube yield and edl calibration are now correct on this system.A formal communication has been sent out to inform the philips field service engineers in france in order to inform them about this problem.
