Philips recalls Allura CV20 Interventional Fluoroscopy systems with Laird chillers lacking extended drip trays due to cooling liquid leaks that could cause fire or smoke in technical rooms.
Due to a leak in the detector cooling system, cooling liquid may leak outside the drip tray of the chiller. If this occurs the liquid may drip onto electrical components in the R cabinet located in the technical room, which could lead to damage to the system and potentially cause thermal events such as a burning odor, smoke or fire.
Philips is recalling certain Allura CV20 Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray systems that have a Laird chiller without an extended drip tray. This design flaw could cause cooling liquid to leak onto electrical components, potentially leading to fire or smoke in the technical room.
The chiller's cooling system has a leak that allows liquid to escape outside the drip tray. If this liquid drips onto electrical components in the technical room, it could cause thermal events like burning smells, smoke, or fire.
Medical facilities using Philips Allura CV20 systems with specific model numbers (722031) and serial numbers (OUS 109) are most at risk. These systems are typically used in hospitals for medical imaging procedures.
Check if your Philips Allura CV20 system has a Laird chiller with model number 722031 and serial number OUS 109. These systems were sold with a chiller that lacks an extended drip tray.
Identify your system's model number (722031) and serial number (OUS 109) to confirm if it's affected.
