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: FDA Class II recall involving a medical device with potential for patient radiation exposure due to malfunction; the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, making this a risk-of-harm scenario without reported adverse events, consistent with a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Philips North America LLC is recalling Zenition 70 radiological systems used for guidance and visualization during diagnostic, interventional, and surgical procedures. The devices use wireless foot switch components (Product Code 718133 with multiple wireless foot switch set and base station configurations) that are subject to this recall.

A wireless foot switch pedal may become stuck in the active position when the user releases the pedal. This malfunction can result in the emission of unintended radiation during medical procedures.

The affected devices were distributed in the United States. Patients treated with affected systems may have been exposed to unintended radiation. Healthcare facilities should immediately discontinue use of affected wireless foot switch components and contact Philips for replacement or repair instructions.

This is a Class II recall issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
