Philips Medical Systems is recalling approximately 5,500 Allura Xper Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray Systems because the Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) may not perform correctly. This defect can cause the entire system to stop functioning, making medical imaging impossible during a procedure. The recall affects several models including the FD10, FD10/10, FD20, and FD20 Biplane, which are used globally in medical facilities. Philips is initiating this voluntary recall via notification letters to ensure systems are repaired or inspected to prevent procedural delays.
The memory modules within the system's computer can fail, causing the X-ray system to crash or stop working entirely. This poses a significant risk of delaying critical medical procedures where real-time imaging is necessary for patient safety.
