Why it was recalled
Philips is recalling the AneurysmFlow interventional tool software because the Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA) ratio does not provide reliable prognostic information for aneurysm occlusion following flow diverter stent treatment. Despite instructions in the user manual, the MAFA ratio is being relied upon for clinical decision-making, which may lead to incorrect treatment assessments.
