Philips Centron Medical Imaging Systems Recalled for Shutter Reset Issue
Philips Healthcare is recalling 459 Centron systems because shutter settings reset when procedure types change, potentially affecting imaging accuracy.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score involving low-risk software defects without reported harm.
Plain-English summary
Philips Healthcare is recalling 459 Centron medical imaging systems distributed nationwide in the United States. The affected software versions are Centron 1.0.10, 1.0.10.1, and 1.0.10.5. These systems are used for vascular, cardiovascular, and neurovascular imaging applications, including diagnostic, interventional, and minimally invasive procedures.
The recall is due to a software defect where the shutter position resets to the open position when an operator selects a new procedure type during a single examination. If the shutters had been manually adjusted previously, that setting is not retained after the first procedure type change. This may result in unintended shutter positions during imaging.
Healthcare facilities using these systems should contact Philips Healthcare for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability of temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
