Philips Allura Xper X-ray Systems Prone to Clamping Bolt Failure and Collision Risk
Philips Allura Xper radiological systems may experience propeller motor and x-ray tube locking bolt breaks, causing erratic C-arm movements with potential for collision with patients or bystanders, and unnecessary radiation exposure.
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 recall of a critical medical imaging device with identified risk of patient harm through erratic C-arm movement and potential collision. No injuries or hospitalizations have been reported. Per the severity rubric, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Philips has recalled certain Allura Xper Systems (R7.6-R8.1), which are fluoroscopy and imaging systems used in medical facilities. The recall affects approximately 2,782 units with distribution in the United States and internationally.
The recall involves propeller motor clamping bolt and x-ray tube locking bolt breaks in systems over 10 years of age without timely installation of the Lifetime Extension (LTE) kit. The root cause is under investigation.
These mechanical failures may cause the C-arm to move erratically, creating a potential risk of collision with patients or bystanders. The system may also falsely detect collisions, which could block C-arm movement. Image quality degradation with noise and black areas may also occur, potentially requiring patients to undergo additional radiation exposure during re-examination.
