Federal regulators have posted four separate recall records covering Philips computed tomography scanners after the manufacturer identified what it describes as an unintended radiation issue that could affect how the equipment performs. All four records were classified by the Food and Drug Administration as Class 2 and posted on Sept. 1.
The affected systems are among the most widely installed CT platforms in American hospitals. The records name the Philips IQon Spectral CT, the Brilliance iCT family, Ingenuity CT, and Brilliance CT 64. Philips initiated the action on Aug. 7, and distribution covers the United States and its territories.
