Philips Azurion Ceiling-Mount Systems Rotation Cover May Fall

Philips is recalling Azurion ceiling-mount imaging systems because a rotation cover may fall if the L-arm collides with hospital equipment, potentially causing injury or affecting sterilization.

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 is an FDA Class II medical device recall with a risk of harm from a falling component that could cause injury or compromise sterilization. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical, based on potential collision scenarios, meeting the criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. is recalling Azurion systems with monoplane fixed ceiling mounts across six model numbers: 722078, 722079, 722223, 722224, 722227, and 722228. A total of 3,821 units have been distributed worldwide.

The ceiling-mounted L-arm contains a rotation cover that may become loose and fall if the L-arm collides with other hospital equipment, such as an operating light. This could potentially result in injury to staff or patients, or compromise the sterility of medical equipment.

These systems have been distributed to hospitals and medical facilities in the United States and over 100 countries worldwide.

Healthcare facilities using affected systems should contact Philips Medical Systems for guidance on inspection, repair, or replacement of the affected equipment.
