Philips is recalling 448 Ingenia Elition X MRI systems worldwide due to potentially incorrect installation of the patient support table floor plate, which could compromise structural integrity.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: FDA Class II recall without reported injuries or illnesses. The installation defect in a structural support component presents a theoretical risk of patient harm from instability, meeting the criterion for High severity as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
