Philips recalls specific medical imaging systems due to a damaged foot switch that may cause no or intermittent x-ray radiation initiation. Affected models include Allura Xper, Allura Centron, and others. No remedy specified in official notice.
A damaged foot switch may cause instances where no or only intermittent x-ray radiation initiation is possible.
Philips is recalling several medical imaging systems because a damaged foot switch might cause the x-ray machine to not start or start intermittently. This could lead to incomplete or unsafe imaging procedures if the machine fails during use.
A damaged foot switch in these medical imaging systems can cause the x-ray machine to fail to initiate radiation or do so inconsistently. This means imaging procedures might not complete properly, potentially leading to incomplete scans or unsafe conditions if the machine stops unexpectedly during use.
Healthcare facilities using Philips Allura Xper, Allura Centron, Allura CV, Azurion, UNIQ Clarity, or MultiDiagnost-Eleva systems with the listed model numbers are affected. Medical staff and patients using these systems are at risk if the foot switch fails during imaging procedures.
Check if your medical imaging system model matches the list of numbers provided in the recall notice (e.g., 708032, 722001, etc.). The affected systems do not have UDI-DI information for the foot switch component.
