- Action
- Philips Healthcare issued a Field Safety Notification (FSN)72800720/88200522 1. Identify affected product 2. There are 3 scenarios users may experience which result in identical images that are incorrectly labeled as phase tolerance images. A. When performing a Step and Shoot acquisition with phase tolerance selected, images may be reconstructed identically (a single phase), but are labeled as different phases. This occurs when Start Final Recon is selected prior to display of the ECG wave at the top of the acquisition window. B. When performing a Step and Shoot acquisition with phase tolerance selected, images may be reconstructed identically (a single phase), but are labeled as different phases. This occurs if ECG leads become disconnected mid-acquisition or when the acquisition is halted prematurely due to an application crash. C. By system design, in certain instances when a patient exhibits an arrhythmia or varying heart rate during a Step and Shoot acquisition, images from the acquisition following the heart rate variation, may be labeled in the incorrect phase 4. Determine whether you have a potentially affected system, then determine your AFFECTED PRODUCTS software version. To identify the software version of your product: Click the Help button, Select About and the software version is then displayed, Software versions 4.x, 3.x, and 2.x are potentially affected. 5.
