PRODUCT
Computed Tomography X-Ray System MX 8000 IDT 16; Model # 728120; Produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes. Recall # Z-0133-2011
REASON
Philips Healthcare has decided to recall the Computed Tomography X-Ray System MX 8000 IDT due to the fact that the software upgrade for the MX 8000 IDT 16 v4.2.1 may not provide the optional collimation of 4×4.5 (18mm). If the customer does not verify the increment and thickness coincide with the newly selected collimation suggested by the conversion report, there is potential for a 6mm gap to appear in axial images.
