Philips Azurion 7 with Certeray Generator Recall: Potential Power Loss During Surgery
Philips recalls Azurion 7 surgical imaging systems with Certeray generator due to risk of power loss from short circuits in the power inverter board, which could delay or terminate procedures.
Generator may fail due to a potential short circuit in the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) in PoInt EVR (Power Invertor). If a short circuit occurs, it will cause the fuses to trip and the system will become non-functional due to power loss, resulting in a potential delay of procedure or termination of procedure.
