Philips DigitalDiagnost X-Ray System Recalled for Image Rotation Errors
Philips Healthcare Inc. is recalling 551 DigitalDiagnost X-Ray Systems because images may rotate in the wrong direction, causing electronic side markers to be placed incorrectly.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a software error that could lead to misinterpretation of images or markers, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Philips Healthcare Inc. is recalling 551 units of the Philips DigitalDiagnost X-Ray System with Eleva Software 2.1.3, including model numbers 712020, 712022, and 712082. These digital radiographic systems were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and various foreign countries.
The recall is due to a software defect where images may rotate in the wrong direction when an operator selects a non-default rotation or when a rotation is preset in the examination database. If the operator manually rotates the image back, any programmed electronic side markers may also rotate and end up in the wrong position within the image.
Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Philips Healthcare Inc. for further instructions on how to resolve the issue.
