Urgent Medical Device Correction notification letters dated 2/2/22 were distributed to customers. 1. What is the problem and under what circumstances it can occur Due to a software defect, the Philips StentBoost Live R2.0 might not process X-ray images of the current run and instead show an image processed in a previous run. The image shown could be from the same patient or from a different patient. When the problem occurs, the area of the boosted images remains black, and the small X-ray viewer in the upper right corner will show a single static image of the previous run. The correct patient information is shown on the Philips Allura/ Azurion system. This defect is intermittent and is caused by a race condition when the software does not properly handle all the "process requests". This problem has been identified through the investigation of 2 (two) customer complaints. 2. What is the hazard/harm assoclated with this issue The incorrect image displayed to the user could lead to incorrect treatment. If the problem occurs, the Stent8oost Live application will have to be restarted (see action 4), causing a delay in the procedure.
