It is possible for the system to invert the sign (positive/negative) of the longitudinal position value displayed on an axial scan image. the following key events must take place for harm to occur:- the patient is placed in a “feet-first” orientation.- an interventional ct procedure is scheduled.- contrary to typical clinical practice, a multi-planar reconstruction (mpr) is used for planning the interventional procedure (this issue only occurs in images produced using mpr).- a check scan is not performed (normal clinical practice indicates the use of a check scan before beginning an interventional procedure).- - the needle tip placement is not confirmed as directed (this practice would prevent more than a minimal ingress of an intervention at an undesired location).

Philips is advising their customers to refrain from using Multi Planar Reconstruction (MPR) derived images for identifying the absolute position of the intervention for feet-first patient orientation. A software update will be implemented to correct the issue. This action has been closed-out on 4/08/2016.
