Plain-English summary
Philips Medical Systems Nederlands is recalling 477 units of the OmniDiagnost Classic X-ray system (Product Nos. 70859, 708023, 708024, 708025). The recall covers systems distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall is due to a defect where the fixation of the upper and lower tilt actuator might break off. If this occurs, the table may start to rotate from 0 to +90/-90 degrees at high speed. This rotating movement cannot be stopped by the user, which could potentially lead to a patient falling off the table. There is a risk of injury for the patient, user, or bystander.
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 resolve the issue.
