What the company is doing
Philips issued URGENT Medical Device Correction Letter to US consignees on July 15th, 2024, via certified mail. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: Circulate this Urgent Medical Device Correction to all users of the system so that they are aware of the issue. " Keep this Urgent Medical Device Correction with the documentation of the system until Philips corrects your system. Ensure that the letter is in a place likely to be seen/viewed. " Should you experience a loss of imaging (X-ray) functionality or a prolonged system restart time, call your local Philips representative to report the event. " Complete and return the attached response form (page 4) to Philips promptly and no later than 30 days from receipt. This confirms that the users of the system have reviewed and understand this Urgent Medical Device Correction and required actions to be taken. Philips is working on a software release (R2.2.10) that will correct these two issues (ref. FCOs: FCO72200548, FCO72200580, FCO72200582, FCO72200583, FCO72200584, FCO72200592).
