Philips recalls AlluraXper FD20 patient tables due to finger entrapment hazard

Philips is recalling AlluraXper FD20 patient tables due to a finger entrapment hazard. During manual repositioning, fingers can get trapped between the tabletop and rails, risking injury to operators and service personnel.

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: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard is a potential finger entrapment during manual operation that may result in injury to operators and service personnel. This matches the 'High' severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Philips Medical Systems has recalled the AlluraXper FD20 system patient tables. The affected components are the AD7 and AD7X patient tables, available in both tilt and non-tilt versions, which are part of the Philips Allura and Azurion diagnostic imaging systems. Approximately 1,528 units were distributed in the United States, with an additional 3,482 units distributed worldwide.

The potential safety issue involves finger entrapment during manual repositioning of the patient tabletop. When operators or service personnel manually reposition the table, fingers can become entrapped between the longitudinal guiding rails and the tabletop. This may result in finger injury.

Healthcare facilities, clinics, and service personnel operating or maintaining these systems should be aware of this entrapment hazard. The recall affects all distributed units of the AD7 and AD7X patient tables.
