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: FDA Class II medical device recall. The potential hazard—fire, smoke, or electrical damage—is serious, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. The hazard is theoretical rather than a realized incident. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury receive a High severity score (3).
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling Philips Allura CV20 Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray System units equipped with a Laird chiller lacking an extended drip tray (Model 722031). A leak in the detector cooling system is the basis for this recall.
The cooling liquid may leak outside the chiller's drip tray and flow onto electrical components in the R cabinet located in the system's technical room. This could damage the system and potentially cause thermal events such as burning odor, smoke, or fire.
These systems have been distributed across the United States and internationally. Facility staff and engineers with affected equipment should contact Philips for remediation instructions and should not operate the system until the cooling system issue is resolved.
