This notice instructs consignees to locate all Philips Ultrasound transducers in their facility and enter their serial numbers into https://www.transducer.philips.com to obtain the manufacturing certificate for each of their devices. This certificate should be retained with its system documentation. Using the manufacturing certificate consignees are to calculate the useful life of their device. The expected useful life for Transesophageal transducers, X-Matrix transducers, and Lumify transducers is 5 years; The expected useful life for Endocavity transducers and Transcutaneous transducers is 7 years. If a transducer has exceeded its useful life, consignees are instructed to conduct transducer performance tests or contact Philips for guidance.
