Philips INTEGRIS and Allura Systems Recalled for Image Interpretation Error

Philips is recalling INTEGRIS and Allura medical imaging systems because a software issue may cause still images to be mistaken for live images.

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 misinterpretation of medical images which could lead to harm, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
