Philips Azurion X-Ray Systems Table Movement Control Defect Recall
Philips Azurion X-ray imaging systems may experience impaired table movement due to mechanical wear in the Float Tabletop control. The control module defect could affect longitudinal and transverse table positioning during medical procedures.
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 recall involving a structural/mechanical defect (table movement control failure) in medical imaging equipment where impaired functionality poses a risk of harm to patients during medical procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the hazard is not merely theoretical—mechanical wear creates a direct risk to proper device operation.
