Medical X-Ray Systems Missing Required Radiation Warning Labels

Philips Healthcare is recalling ProxiDiagnost N90 diagnostic X-ray systems that lack required FDA radiation warning labels. Some units nationwide were found missing the mandatory radiation safety labels and certification statements required by federal standards.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II labeling compliance issue with no reported illnesses or injuries. The recall addresses missing radiation warning labels on X-ray equipment; while radiation hazards are serious, the issue is one of proper application of required safety labels rather than equipment malfunction.

Plain-English summary

Philips Healthcare is recalling ProxiDiagnost N90 multi-functional X-ray and fluorography systems (R/F systems). A total of 281 systems distributed nationwide in the United States are subject to this recall.

Some of these systems were found to lack required warning labels mandated by FDA Electronic Product Radiation Control performance standards. Specifically, affected units are missing the Radiation Warning Label required under 21 CFR 1020.30(j) and the X-ray control certification statement required under 21 CFR 1010.2. These labels ensure that healthcare personnel and patients are informed of radiation hazards.

Healthcare facilities operating ProxiDiagnost N90 systems should contact Philips Healthcare to verify that their equipment has the required radiation warning labels and certification statements properly displayed. Systems should not be operated without these mandatory safety labels in place.
