Issue
Philips has become aware of a potential safety issue affecting Brightview systems that may present an extremity entrapment hazard to patients during a scan. While using pre-programmed motion (PPM) during an extrinsic quality assurance scan, a gap is created between the patient support and the detector. This gap presents a potential extremity entrapment hazard for patients while the system detectors and patient support are in motion.
