    Description

    GEMINI TF PET/CT16: 882470, GEMINI TF PET/CT 64: 882471, GEMINI TF Big Bore: 882476. A diagnostic imaging system for fixed or mobile installations that combines Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) systems.

    Reason

    When beginning a procedure to start the gantry and CT Host, a Close Estop message may appear to the operator, but disappears before action can be taken. If this occurs it results in an inability to close E-Stop and the system is not operational for clinical use. This problem occurs randomly.

    Action

    Philips Healthcare is informing the consignee of this issue through a Field Safety Notice (FSN) 88200487-488. The US consignees will receive this notice via certified mail and Philips Key Market representatives will distribute the FSN internationally. Additionally, a Field Service Engineer will contact each site to schedule a time to install the software update.

    Distribution

    Distributed in the states of CA, CO, IL, OK, OR and WI.
