Plain-English summary
Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling 1,486 units of the Allura Xper FD and Xper FD ORT X-ray systems. These systems were distributed worldwide and nationwide in the United States. The affected units were manufactured between July 2003 and May 2017 and include specific system codes listed in the recall notice.
The recall is due to a mechanical defect where extra monitors, referred to as 7th or 8th monitors, mounted on the Monitor Ceiling Suspension (MCS) may disengage and fall. This occurs because small set screws securing the gliding rods into the support arm's aluminum block can loosen due to vibrations and forces. If a force pushes the monitor forward, it can topple over and drop to the floor if it breaks loose from its wires.
Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Philips for instructions on how to address the defect. The source text does not report any injuries or illnesses associated with this recall.
