Interventional imaging systems recalled over ceiling rail movement that may fail
Philips is recalling 172 Azurion 7M20 systems with FlexArm because motorized longitudinal movement of the stand may be inconsistent and eventually become unavailable.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 2 because the record describes loss of motorized movement without stating a health consequence or reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Philips Azurion 7M20 systems with the FlexArm ceiling-mounted system, model 722234, are being recalled.
The motorized longitudinal movement of the FlexArm stand may be inconsistent (not smooth) and eventually may become unavailable. Philips states this is due to grease leakage from the bearings and/or anti-corrosion oil applied on the bearings, which can leave excessive lubrication on the ceiling rail and reduce friction between the rails and the friction wheel. The record notes the action was expanded to add additional models.
The recall covers 172 units, distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Washington. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
The enforcement record describes the movement problem without stating a health consequence, and reports no injuries. Sites operating an affected system should follow Philips' instructions.
