Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. is recalling Azurion R1.x and R2.x systems with model numbers 722063, 722064, 722067, 722068, 722078, 722079, 722221, 722222, 722223, 722224, 722225, 722226, 722227, 722228, 722280, 722281, and 722282 (all software versions). The systems are used for X-ray imaging in medical facilities.
A software issue has been identified in the internal communication process between the system software and the X-ray generator firmware. This issue can cause loss of imaging (X-ray) functionality, which may result in a delay of therapy.
A delay in therapy may result in serious adverse health outcomes, including the possibility of death, especially when the system is used with patients undergoing complex and/or urgent interventions for potentially life-threatening conditions such as acute ischemic stroke, ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia, or life-threatening bleeding.
The recall affects approximately 9,707 units worldwide, including 2,300 units in the United States. Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Philips Medical Systems for guidance on remediation and next steps.
