Philips OmniDiagnost Eleva System Recalled Due to Capacitor Failure
Philips is recalling 69 OmniDiagnost Eleva Systems because a capacitor may fail, preventing image acquisition.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a functional failure (no image acquisition) rather than a safety hazard involving injury or death, aligning with the 'Moderate' criteria for low-risk issues.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America, LLC is recalling 69 units of the OmniDiagnost Eleva System (codes 708028 and 708027). The recall is due to a potential failure of a capacitor inside the converter of the Velara X-ray generator.
The capacitor may fail after experiencing a large number of surges in a short period of time. When this failure occurs, the system is unable to acquire images. The affected units were distributed domestically nationwide and internationally worldwide.
No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text, but the recall indicates a functional defect that prevents the device from operating as intended.
