Philips recalls specific Allura and Azurion models with StentBoost Live R2.0 software that may show incorrect X-ray images from previous runs instead of current patient scans.
Due to a software defect, the Philips StentBoost Live R2.0 might not process X-ray images of the current run and instead show an image processed in a previous run. The image shown could be from the same patient or from a different patient.
Philips is recalling certain Allura and Azurion medical imaging systems that have a software defect in the StentBoost Live R2.0 version. This defect may cause the system to display X-ray images from a previous run instead of the current patient's scan, potentially showing images from a different patient. This could lead to misdiagnosis if the images are used for treatment decisions.
