Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-0377-2026) was formally reported on November 5, 2025, with the manufacturer initiating the action on September 25, 2025. It is classified under Moderate severity (Class II), with a current status of Ongoing. PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Cambridge, MA. Federal records indicate 1 unit (OUS only) units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: Issue 1: The potential for unintentional continued gantry/couch movement when a specific button series is used requiring use of manual stop. Issue 2. When performing a helical/Axial scan with ORI (Dose Right index)/ DO… Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Domestic: AL, AR, CA, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, OH, PA, PR, TN, TX, UT, VA; International: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Czeck Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Guyana, Hong Kong, Hun…. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Devices. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 1 year old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.

Product Description

Model: Incisive CT for Brazil SKD; Product Code (REF): 728146; Software Versions: 5.1.0.X & 5.1.1.X;

Reason for Recall

Issue 1: The potential for unintentional continued gantry/couch movement when a specific button series is used requiring use of manual stop. Issue 2. When performing a helical/Axial scan with ORI (Dose Right index)/ DOM (Dose Modulation), the WED (Water Equivalent Diameter) value might set itself to zero, and this may lead to an insufficient dose setting after the surview. If operator misses the insufficient dose and the WED value in User Interface and continues with the subsequent helical/Axial scans, then the obtained images will be noisy due to low dose setting. Issue 3: Due to a software failure, the ECG wave file is not saved. As a result, the cardiac offline image reconstruction fails due to the missing ECG wave file, and the user might rescan the patient. Issue 4: This issue is software fault in which the patient orientation will be changed to NULL under specific random scenarios resulting in radiation being delivered from the wrong orientation (surview scan) or in the wrong position (clinical scan) and will generate incorrect and undiagnosable surview/clinical images. Patients may be rescanned for surview and/or clinical images. Issue 5: During scanning, the preview image display is not consistent, the images are not arriving at a fixed rate, skipping images from time to time during scanning. The obtained images might not support making the clinical diagnosis and the user might decide to re-scan the patient. Issue 6: If a user presses the left and middle/right mouse buttons together or afterwards in a short time, both commands are executed and an incorrect auto ROI is created. This ROI coordinates won t be assigned as the object is empty. As a result, the threshold of contrast level will not be reached in the UI and this will prevent the system from automatically triggering the subsequent clinical scan. There is potential safety risk identified for additionally tracker shots and/or rescan of a patient when the clinical scan is not triggered. This issue only affects the manual ROI process.
