Plain-English summary
The Philips HA FlexTrak II is a patient transport trolley used to move patients from preparation areas to MR (magnetic resonance) systems in medical facilities. Hydraulic systems in these trolleys may leak oil when the operator presses the hydraulic pedal during patient transport operations.
When hydraulic oil leaks onto the floor, it creates a slip and fall hazard for hospital staff and patients. The slippery surface increases the risk of falls and injuries in healthcare environments where patient safety is critical.
This recall affects approximately 590 HA FlexTrak II units with specific serial numbers. These trolleys have been distributed worldwide, including across the United States, Australia, Europe, Asia, and other regions.
If you operate or maintain an HA FlexTrak II trolley, contact Philips North America LLC for instructions on how to address the oil leak issue. Do not use the device if you observe oil leaking from the hydraulic system.
