Philips is recalling approximately 20,389 Allura and Azurion X-ray Systems because the systems may fail to start X-ray imaging or may only work intermittently when using the wired foot switch. This defect could cause unexpected interruptions or delays during critical medical procedures performed in hospitals. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date. These professional medical imaging systems were sold nationwide and internationally through authorized medical distributors and direct hospital sales.
The mechanical failure or intermittent signal from the wired foot switch prevents the initiation of X-ray imaging. If this occurs during a surgical or diagnostic procedure, it could lead to procedural delays and potential harm to the patient due to lack of real-time guidance.
