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 involves a high-risk medical device where a defect could lead to misinterpretation of medical images, posing a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
