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 device recall describing a functional failure that could interrupt imaging during a procedure; no injuries are stated in the source, placing it at the risk-of-harm level rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

Philips is recalling the Azurion 7 M20 interventional X-ray system, system codes 722079, 722224, 722234 and 722282 (the last of which was supplied outside the US only). The action covers 5,167 units, of which 1,728 were distributed in the United States and 3,439 internationally.
