“Philips Azurion Systems: Potential Safety Issue with Table Movements.” GovInfoNow, updated August 18, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/49330-philips-azurion-systems-potential-safety-issue-with-table-movements. Based on FDA recall #Z-2225-2026 (https://api.fda.gov/device/enforcement.json?search=recall_number:%22Z-2225-2026%22&limit=1).
Why it’s dangerous
The Float Tabletop control on the control module can experience mechanical wear over time, which may impact the system's ability to move the table smoothly in both longitudinal and transverse directions. This could lead to inaccurate positioning during medical imaging procedures.
Who’s affected
Medical facilities and healthcare professionals using Philips Azurion systems without the auxiliary pan handle. The risk is low as the issue affects table movement precision rather than causing injury.
