What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This FDA Class II recall affects a medical imaging device used in interventional procedures. While no injuries have been reported in the source, the software defect creates a risk-of-harm situation by causing complete device lock-up and loss of imaging capability during patient procedures.
Plain-English summary
The recall involves Philips Azurion Interventional Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems running software version 2.1.x, affecting multiple models including the Azurion 3, 5, and 7 series.
A software defect causes the device to lock up when operators simultaneously press and release both the APC (accept) button and the Float Tabletop (panning) button. When this interaction occurs, the system's geometry stops responding to movement requests and X-ray imaging becomes unavailable.
Approximately 428 units have been distributed within the United States, with 581 additional units distributed internationally. Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Philips North America for updated software or guidance regarding this issue.
