Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device where a technical limitation may impact the calculation of a critical diagnostic metric (FFR).

The recall affects all software versions and includes units distributed worldwide, including the United States, Belgium, United Kingdom, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, France, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Philippines, and Thailand.

The recall is due to a limitation in interoperability between the Philips Xper Flex Cardia Physiomonitoring System and Volcano's sS/Si, Core, and ComboMap systems.
