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 a Class II FDA recall involving a clear mechanism of injury (finger entrapment) that could cause significant trauma to fingers and hands of operators and service personnel. No injuries have been reported; the hazard is theoretical risk-of-harm, which per the severity rubric warrants a score of 3 (High).

Plain-English summary

The Philips AlluraXper FD20 OR Table (part of Philips Allura and Azurion systems) is being recalled due to a finger entrapment hazard. During manual repositioning of the patient tabletop, a finger can become trapped between the longitudinal guiding rails and the tabletop itself.

This entrapment can result in finger injury to operators and service personnel who manually reposition the patient table. The hazard affects both tilt and non-tilt versions of the patient tables.

Healthcare facilities using these systems should be aware of this entrapment hazard during manual tabletop repositioning and contact the manufacturer or FDA for guidance on mitigation strategies or product updates.
