Official wording
Reason: A problem has been detected with Philips Model EPIQ 5 and 7 Ultrasound System. The system will report incorrect Doppler velocities if you use High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) with multiple sample volume gates. While in High Pulse Repetition Frequency (HPRF) in Display Zoom Velocity Scale using manual spectral Doppler trace, the velocities in the velocity results table may be overstated b
