Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems Nederlands is recalling 508 units of the OmniDiagnost-Eleva X-ray system (Product Nos. 708026, 708027, 708028). The recall was initiated because the fixation of the upper and lower tilt actuator may break off. If this occurs, the table can start to rotate from 0 to +90/-90 degrees at high speed. This rotating movement cannot be stopped by the user.
The uncontrolled rotation creates a potential for patients to fall off the table. This poses a risk of injury to the patient, the user, or any bystanders present. The affected equipment was distributed nationwide in the United States.
Healthcare facilities should identify affected units by checking the As-Maintained System Equipment Number against the list provided in the official recall notice. Users should contact Philips Medical Systems Nederlands for instructions on how to address the defect.
