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: This is a Class II medical device recall involving a risk-of-harm product (detachable ceiling-mounted monitor) capable of causing serious injury. The source text uses conditional language ('could potentially') with no reported incidents, placing it at the upper bound of theoretical hazards per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America LLC is recalling 1,301 Monitor Bracket Assemblies used in Continuous CT Fluoroscopy systems with DVI ceiling mounts. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and numerous other countries.
Significant wear of the Monitor Bracket Assembly shaft can go unrecognized and cause the assembly to detach from the Suspension Arm. When this occurs, the monitor can fall while remaining attached to the cables, creating a serious injury hazard to patients, operators, bystanders, and service personnel.
Facilities using affected CT systems should inspect monitor bracket assemblies for signs of shaft wear and contact Philips for service instructions. No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with this issue as of the recall announcement.
