Philips INTEGRIS and Allura Systems Recalled for Image Interpretation Risk

Philips is recalling INTEGRIS and Allura medical imaging systems because software issues may cause still images to be misinterpreted as live images during procedures.

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 involves a risk-of-harm product (medical device) where the hazard is a potential for misinterpretation of clinical data, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling specific models of the INTEGRIS and Allura medical imaging systems. The affected products include the INTEGRIS H5000 (Model 72246), INTEGRIS 3000/5000, INTEGRIS Allura 9 Biplane, and INTEGRIS Allura 12 & 15 systems.

The recall is due to a software issue affecting the Allura Xper, Allura Clarity, Allura CV, Allura Centron, and UNIQ systems. The defect can cause still images to be interpreted as live images by the user. This misinterpretation could potentially impact clinical decision-making during procedures.
