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 medical device recall with a risk-of-harm hazard where no injuries have been reported. The source states the injury 'may result,' indicating potential but not realized harm. Per the rubric, this qualifies as 'High' severity for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
The Philips Azurion 7 M20 and Allura systems contain patient examination tables (both tilt and non-tilt versions) with a design that poses a finger entrapment risk during operation.
During manual repositioning of the patient tabletop, fingers can become entrapped between the tabletop and the longitudinal guiding rails. This may result in finger injury to the affected person.
Operators and service personnel who manually reposition the patient table are at risk of finger entrapment and injury. The recall affects 1,346 units in the United States and 2,582 units worldwide distributed across multiple countries.
Facilities using these systems should review safe handling procedures with all personnel who operate or service the equipment. For specific remediation steps, replacement options, or additional information, contact Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. or the FDA.
