Reason

Their is the potential that diagnostic ultrasound systems operating with software version 10.0 may present a delayed image instead of a real time image.

Action

Identify if your firm has an affected product. 2. In the 2D tab in the system touchscreen, disable the AutoSCAN feature every time a transducer or a Transducer preset is selected to prevent the system from potentially experiencing image lag issue. The AutoSCAN feature is disabled when the button is not highlighted in amber. 3. Please complete and return the attached response form to Philips promptly and no later than 15 days from receipt. Completing this form confirms receipt of the Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter, understanding of the issue, and required actions to be taken. 4. Circulate this Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter to all users of this device so that they are aware of the issue. Please retain this letter with your system(s) and ensure the letter is in a place likely to be seen/viewed. 5.
