Recall details

Recalling firm
Philips Healthcare Inc.
Reason for recall
When the operator for a wall stand view selects an "image rotation" different from default, or such image rotation is preset in the examination database, then the resulting image may be rotated in the wrong direction. When the operator manually rotates the image back, electronic side markers (if programmed) are rotated also and as a result may be placed in a wrong position inside the image.
Action taken
