Action taken

Philips began notification of consignees on about 12/03/2025 via mailed Urgent Medical Device Correction letter, with a corrected notification sent on about 12/18/2025. Consignees were instructed to identify if any affected units were on hand, that the systems could continue to be use in accordance with their intended use. They were asked to provide the notification to all users of the device for awareness, maintain the Urgent Medical Device Correction letter with affected systems until the software upgrade is installed, and complete and return the provided response form. A Philips representative will contact each consignee to schedule time for a Field Service Engineer (FSE) to install a software upgrade to resolve the issues beginning in January 2026 (reference FCO78100585, FCO78100620).
