Philips Monitor Bracket Assembly falls due to shaft wear in medical imaging systems

Philips monitor bracket assemblies for CT/PET imaging systems may detach due to shaft wear, posing a risk of the monitor falling and causing serious injury to patients, operators, or bystanders.

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 recall involving a mechanical failure (shaft wear) that could cause serious injury through device detachment and falling. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, meeting the criteria for a risk-of-harm medical device without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Philips North America is recalling approximately 1,301 Monitor Bracket Assemblies used in medical imaging systems. These components are part of Continuous CT Fluoroscopy DVI Ceiling Mount systems and CCT Arm DVI Option configurations for PET/CT imaging equipment (model 882446).

The Monitor Bracket Assembly shaft can experience significant wear that may not be immediately recognized. When this wear becomes severe enough, the bracket assembly can detach from the suspension arm, allowing the monitor to fall while remaining attached to its electrical cables.

This detachment and fall creates a potential hazard where patients, operators, bystanders, or service personnel could suffer serious injury. The affected devices have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and numerous other countries.
