Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V. has recalled 927 Philips Azurion 7M20 Interventional Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems equipped with the FlexArm ceiling-mounted stand. The motorized stand, which moves along a ceiling rail, may move inconsistently or stop working entirely because grease or anti-corrosion oil is leaking from internal bearings onto the rail. This leakage reduces the necessary friction between the rail and the drive wheel, making the equipment difficult to position correctly during medical procedures. Consumers should contact Philips or their healthcare facility's technical department to arrange for an inspection and repair.
If the ceiling-mounted stand moves unexpectedly or becomes stuck during a procedure, it could delay critical medical treatment or result in the equipment colliding with staff or patients. This mechanical failure is caused by excessive lubrication on the ceiling rails which prevents the friction wheel from maintaining a steady grip.
