Philips Azurion 7M20 Systems with FlexArm May Have Unreliable Movement - Recall
Philips recalls Azurion 7M20 systems with FlexArm ceiling-mounted systems due to potential inconsistent motorized movement from grease leakage causing lubrication issues.
The motorized longitudinal movement of the FlexArm stand may be inconsistent (not smooth) and eventually may become unavailable. This issue is due to grease leakage from the bearings and/or anti-corrosion oil applied on the bearings, because of which the lubrication on the ceiling rail may be excessive, reducing the friction between the rails and the friction wheel.
