Plain-English summary

Philips North America, LLC is recalling the Philips Azurion 7 M20 -XperGuide Software hosted in Interventional Workspot 1.5 when used with the Azurion R2.0 system. The recall involves 25 units, including 6 in the United States and 19 outside the US. The affected systems are interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems with system code 722079.

The recall is due to a software defect where the system does not prevent the use of live guidance if the L-arm stand is not repositioned to the initial XperCT scan position. Although a warning message is generated, users can proceed with live guidance using a mispositioned L-arm. This can result in the display of an incorrect overlay and needle path.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the US states of Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Ohio, as well as in Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, and Thailand. Users should contact Philips for instructions on how to resolve the issue.
