Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. is recalling 28 Azurion 7 M20 FlexArm systems because a software issue can cause a total loss of connectivity between the FlexArm imaging component and the Maquet Magnus table. This defect affects 9 systems in the United States across several states, 1 in Canada, and 18 globally. If connectivity is lost during a surgical or interventional procedure, it could lead to delays or inability to properly position the equipment, which may impact patient care. Consumers should contact Philips for guidance and to facilitate the necessary software corrective actions.
The software error causes the imaging arm and the patient table to stop communicating, which may prevent the equipment from moving safely or accurately during a procedure. This failure could result in procedural delays or the need to transfer a patient to another room in the middle of a medical intervention.
