Philips recalls Azurion 5 surgical imaging systems with Certeray generator due to risk of power loss causing procedure delays or termination. Affected models include 722227 and 722228 with specific serial numbers.
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.
