Philips notified U.S. customers an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter on 8/11/21. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: Philips advises that customers continue to utilize the primary motorized function for the MR system since the identified issue with the HDU does not occur in the motorized mode. If you utilize the manual function and it is not functioning properly, then you must perform table movement using the motorized function. A Philips Field Service Engineer (FSE) will perform a HDU during the next scheduled preventive maintenance visit. If the issue is detected in the HDU, the Philips FSE will replace the necessary mechanical component(s) to resolve the issue.
