Philips DXR System DuraDiagnost Rel. 4 X-Ray System Collimator Fall Risk

Philips is recalling 83 units of the DXR System, DuraDiagnost Rel. 4 stationary X-ray system due to potential for the collimator to fall if incorrectly installed. The defect could pose injury risk to patients or staff.

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 involving a risk-of-harm product (falling collimator on an X-ray system that could injure patients or staff). No illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, but the hazard is not purely theoretical—it is a mechanical failure mode with direct injury potential. This meets the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
