Philips INTEGRIS Allura X-ray Systems Recalled for Image Display Error

Philips is recalling INTEGRIS Allura X-ray systems because a software error may cause still images to be displayed as live images, potentially leading to misinterpretation.

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 the misinterpretation of images, which could lead to incorrect medical decisions, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling the INTEGRIS Allura 15-12 (mono) X-ray system, model number 722043. The recall affects 13,297 units distributed worldwide, including the United States (nationwide) and Puerto Rico, as well as numerous international markets.
