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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk of harm (misinterpretation of medical images) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling the Allura Xper FD10 OR Table, model numbers 722033 and 722022. The recall involves 13,297 units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Puerto Rico, and numerous international markets.

The recall was issued because the use of Allura Xper, Allura Clarity, Allura CV, Allura Centron, and UNIQ systems regarding live and still images can lead to still images being interpreted as live images. This defect affects the intended use of the device for cardiovascular and vascular X-ray imaging applications, including diagnostic and interventional procedures such as PTCA, stent placement, atherectomies, pacemaker implantations, and ElectroPhysiology (EP).

Healthcare facilities and users of these specific model numbers should contact Philips for further instructions on how to address the issue. The source text does not specify a particular action for consumers, as these are professional medical devices.
