Approximately 2,782 Philips Allura Xper medical imaging systems (Models R7.6 through R8.1) are being recalled. For systems over 10 years old, internal bolts may break if a Lifetime Extension kit was not installed. This failure can cause the X-ray arm to move erratically or stop moving, potentially colliding with patients or bystanders or requiring additional X-ray exams that expose patients to unnecessary radiation. Philips is initiating this voluntary recall to address these safety risks through inspections and repairs.
Broken motor and locking bolts can cause unexpected movements of the heavy C-arm or false collision detections. This poses a direct risk of physical injury from mechanical impact and potential radiation overexposure if re-examinations are required due to image quality failures.

Affected units older than 10 years without LTE kit installation.
