Philips Radiographic Systems Recalled for Non-Compliant Installation Test Documents

Philips Healthcare is recalling 177 stationary radiographic systems because their Installation Acceptance Test Documents were non-compliant with regulations or could not be located.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as Low severity because it involves documentation issues (missing or non-compliant IATDs) rather than a physical defect or safety hazard that poses a direct risk of harm to patients or operators.

Plain-English summary

Philips Healthcare Inc. is recalling 177 units of the Philips Diagnost Stationary Radiographic System, including models 712020, 712022, 712050, 712052, 712055, 712057, and 712062. These devices are used for universal radiographic applications and were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada.

The recall was initiated because the Installation Acceptance Test Documents (IATDs) for these units were found to be non-compliant with regulations. Specifically, the IATDs could not be located, or different templates were used than required. This is a documentation and compliance issue rather than a mechanical defect in the equipment itself.

Affected healthcare facilities should contact Philips Healthcare Inc. to resolve the documentation issues. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
