Plain-English summary
Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling 412 units of the Mobile Detector Holder for Stationary X-ray Systems (RF System). These devices are used to position wireless portable detectors in the room for X-ray exposures and support the detector with or without a grid. The affected units were manufactured and distributed between March 2015 and March 2017.
The recall is due to a defect in the lock mechanism of the movable clamp. If the mechanism is not adjusted properly or secured, the portable detector can drop when the movable clamp is at the bottom and additional force is applied. This hazard may occur when the detector is rotated clockwise from a landscape to a portrait position.
Healthcare facilities and users of these devices should stop using the affected Mobile Detector Holders immediately. Philips is the recalling firm and is responsible for managing the recall. Users should contact Philips for instructions on how to resolve the issue or obtain a replacement.
