Action |
Philips Healthcare issued an 'URGENT- Field Safety Notice MX 16-slice' (dated 3/10/2011) concerning a software issue to customers. The notification informed the firm's users/customers of the potential for inaccurate dimension measurements produced by the MX 16-slice CT scanners when using the Combine Function Viewing Option. Moreover, the letter notified customers of the potential for patient misdiagnosis in the event that inaccurate dimension measurements are used by a physician for reference. The Field Safety Notice described the following: 1) How to identify the affected product; 2) What actions should to be taken by the customers with regard to avoiding the issue -discontinue use of the Combine Viewing Option and instead use the MPR Batch for diagnostic reviews until a planned software upgrade is installed by the recalling firm; and 3) The firm's plans to carry out the installation of a field change order kits to correct the issue.
The planned software upgrade is expected to be completed on or before 6 months after the new software is released.
