If it is not installed, there is a potential for coolant liquid to contact electrical components. This could lead to electrical short-circuits, which may trigger system fuses and result in system shutdown.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS NEDERLAND B.V. or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter
