Philips Brilliance CT Scanners
Philips recalls Brilliance CT scanners over possible scan trigger failure, risking patient rescan and extra radiation.
Contact Philips Medical Systems to schedule a software update or service to correct the Bolus Tracking trigger issue. Until the update is performed, ensure that clinical scans are manually triggered as needed and follow your facility's protocols to avoid additional radiation exposure.
Why it was recalled
Philips Medical Systems is recalling certain Brilliance CT scanner models because the clinical CT scan may not automatically trigger after the Bolus Tracking scan, potentially requiring manual triggering and additional Bolus Tracking shots. This could result in an inadequate clinical acquisition, leading to patient rescan and additional radiation exposure.
