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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (falling heavy equipment) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed incidents.

Plain-English summary

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling 5,115 Allura Xper F020 DR Tables, System Code 722023. These medical devices are used for vascular, cardiovascular, neurovascular, and cardiac imaging applications, as well as non-vascular interventions. The recall affects systems manufactured between 2003 and May 2011 that include an actuator for the FlexVision Monitor Ceiling Suspension.

The recall is due to a potential defect where the Monitor Ceiling Suspension, which holds a large screen monitor, may detach from the actuator rotor shaft. If this occurs, the monitor could fall from the ceiling. The source text notes that a falling monitor presents a risk of injury to patients, users, and bystanders.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in numerous international countries. The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers, such as contacting the manufacturer or stopping use, but the recall notice identifies the specific system code and manufacturing period to help identify affected units.
