Philips recalls wireless footswitches for Philips Allura Xper and Azurion fluoroscopy systems due to potential fluoroscopy interruptions and increased radiation exposure risks.
Wireless foot switch connection issues causing interruption of Fluoroscopy and exposure
Philips is recalling wireless footswitches used with Allura Xper and Azurion fluoroscopy systems because connection issues can interrupt fluoroscopy and increase radiation exposure. This affects medical staff using these systems during procedures.
The wireless footswitches can cause interruptions in fluoroscopy, which is a real-time X-ray imaging technique used during medical procedures. These interruptions may lead to increased radiation exposure for patients and staff if the system is not properly maintained or if the connection is unstable.
Medical professionals using Philips Allura Xper or Azurion fluoroscopy systems with the recalled wireless footswitches are most at risk. Patients and staff during procedures may face increased radiation exposure if the system is interrupted.
Check for model numbers 722001-722079 and 722221-722228 on the fluoroscopy system, or wireless footswitch models listed in the recall notice. The specific wireless footswitch models include 459801319471 and other numbers listed in the recall.
