Plain-English summary

The Azurion 7 M20 FlexArm system with Maquet Magnus Table is being recalled by Philips Medical Systems due to a software defect. The issue involves date/time format handling that causes loss of connectivity between the FlexArm and the Table, resulting in loss of movement capability for both components.

The recall affects 108 systems distributed worldwide: 14 in the United States (across Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Nevada, and Texas), 1 in Canada, and 93 in other countries. Two system types are affected (System Codes 722079 and 722224) with specific serial numbers tracked by the manufacturer.

This is classified as an FDA Class II recall. The connectivity loss prevents the imaging arm and table from moving during clinical procedures, potentially affecting interventional imaging operations.
