Recall Insight

This FDA Devices action (record #Z-1753-2017) was formally reported on April 12, 2017, with the manufacturer initiating the action on February 24, 2017. It is classified under Low severity (Class III), with a current status of Terminated. Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland) Inc is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Cleveland, OH. Federal records indicate 27 systems units are affected.

The documented reason for this recall is: The brake hub was not engaging with the gear box shaft due to an error in the assembly of components within the brake hub mechanism after service, causing the detector to backdrive. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Worldwide distribution - US including AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, VA, WA, WI, and WV. Internationally to Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cana…. 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 9 years 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

BrightView X 3/8 model number 882478 BrightView and BrightView X are gamma cameras designed for single or dual detector nuclear imaging accommodating a broad range of Emission Computed Tomography (ECT) studies. The cameras can be used to perform planar static, dynamic, gated, and total body studies, as well as circular-orbit and noncircular orbit SPECT studies, gated SPECT (circular and noncircular)studies, computer-programmed protocol strings, and reference scans (dual detectors only). BrightView XCT is a gamma camera for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and integrates with an attenuation device consisting of flat panel x-ray imaging components. BrightView XCT produces non-attenuation corrected SPECT images and attenuation corrected SPECT images with an x-ray transmission data that may also be used for scatter correction. The nuclear medicine images and BrightView XCT images may be registered and displayed in a fused format (overlaid in the same orientation) to provide anatomical localization of the nuclear medicine data. The BrightView XCT imaging system should only be used by trained healthcare professionals.

Reason for Recall

The brake hub was not engaging with the gear box shaft due to an error in the assembly of components within the brake hub mechanism after service, causing the detector to backdrive.
