Single and Dual use Emission Computer Tomography gamma cameras (BrightView XCT, BrightView X & BrightView SPECT) Philips Healthcare Systems, Cleveland, OH. Gamma cameras designed for single or dual detector nuclear imaging accommodating a broad range of Emission Computed Tomography (ECT) studies.
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Philips Medical Systems is recalling 1,143 BrightView SPECT, BrightView X, and BrightView XCT gamma cameras distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and multiple countries. The devices have a positioning problem where the second detector may not be correctly positioned during a 180-degree non-circular acquisition setup, causing an incorrect rotation calculation. When the acquisition starts and the detectors move into position, this calculation error can result in the detectors making contact with the patient.
The recall affects specific serial numbers of the BrightView SPECT model (product code 882480) and related models. The source document does not specify what remedy affected consumers should pursue.

Three problems were reported to the firm: When positioning for a relative 180 degree non circular acquisition the second (bottom) detector was not positioned correctly causing an inappropriate rotation orbit calculation. When the acquisition was started and the detectors began to move into position, the incorrect calculation resulted in the detectors coming in contact with the patient. As
