Azurion Medical Imaging System Software Defect Alters Dose Parameters
A software defect in Philips Azurion imaging systems causes the Patient Type to change unexpectedly during study initiation, altering dose control parameters without operator notification.
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 involving a software defect that can apply incorrect dose control parameters without operator notification. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, meeting the criteria for High severity (risk-of-harm product with no reported injury).
Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. is recalling Azurion systems with software release R1.x due to a software defect affecting dose control. Approximately 722 units have been distributed nationwide and worldwide.
The defect occurs in the "Add Study" function. When a user selects a Patient Type and initiates the study by pressing "Start Procedure," the software inadvertently changes the Patient Type to a different option without notifying the operator. Since Patient Type is a factor in the dose control process, this unannounced change causes the system to apply incorrect technique factors without user awareness.
