Philips North America recalled 47 CT scanners on January 7, 2026, due to improperly torqued rotor fasteners. This issue could lead to unsecured rotor parts, posing a high risk during operation. Patients and healthcare providers must stop using the device immediately.
As part of the CT systems sub assembly, thirty-two (32) fasteners are used to attach the rotor to the bearing within the gantry. One or more of these fasteners may not be torqued to specification. If multiple fasteners are not torqued to specification, the rotor or rotor parts may become unsecured or displaced. While there has been no reported or observed event of expelled parts during gantry rotation, unsecured rotor parts may potentially be expelled.
Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact Philips North America Llc or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter
