Manufacturer Narrative
|
Based on the available information the injury as sustained by the patient was caused by the patient's hair getting caught during movement into the bore.This was possible as the seal between the cone covers was not present.The seal was removed by the hospital because of observed damage to the seal.Scanning with a damaged system should not be done.After this event, philips was contacted and a new seal was ordered and installed.
