What happened, in plain English

Philips is recalling several Azurion medical imaging systems because the bolts and plastic parts holding the cable hose to the monitor ceiling suspension can loosen or break over time. This could happen when the monitor is moved or rotated, but it doesn't pose an immediate risk of injury.

Why it’s dangerous

The bolts and plastic parts that secure the cable hose to the monitor ceiling suspension can loosen or break over time due to forces applied when the monitor is moved or rotated. This could potentially lead to the cable hose becoming disconnected, but the risk of injury is low under normal use conditions.

Who’s affected

Medical facilities that own or use Philips Azurion 3 M12, M15, 5, 5 M12, 5 M20, 7, 7 B12, 7 B20, or 7 M12 models are most at risk. The hazard is unlikely to cause injury under normal use conditions.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your Philips Azurion system has a model number matching the list: Azurion 3 M12 (722221, 722229), Azurion 3 M15 (722222, 722230), Azurion 5 (722281), Azurion 5 M12 (722227, 722231), Azurion 5 M20 (722228, 722232, 722281), Azurion 7 (722282), Azurion 7 B12 (722225, 722235), Azurion 7 B20 (722068, 722226, 722236), or Azurion 7 M12 (722078, 722223, 722233).
