Philips Medical Systems is recalling 108 Azurion 7 M20 FlexArm systems because a software defect related to the date and time format can cause the FlexArm to lose connectivity with the Maquet Magnus surgical table. This software glitch results in an immediate loss of movement for both the robotic arm and the table during medical procedures. The recall affects 14 systems in the United States across several states and 94 systems internationally. Philips is initiating this voluntary correction to address the software communication error and restore reliable system movement.
If the software connection fails during a surgical or diagnostic procedure, the medical team will be unable to move the robotic arm or adjust the patient table. This sudden loss of mechanical control could delay critical medical treatments or prevent the physician from properly positioning the patient for imaging, potentially leading to patient injury or surgical complications.
