Plain-English summary
Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling two units of the Allura Xper FD20 R8.2 722028 medical device. This equipment is intended for cardiovascular and vascular X-ray imaging applications, including diagnostic and interventional procedures such as PTCA, stent placement, atherectomies, pacemaker implantations, and electrophysiology (EP).

The affected units were distributed in Washington (US) and internationally in China, Spain, Korea, Republic of, and Germany. Users of these devices should contact Philips for further instructions regarding the recall and necessary corrective actions.
