Philips Medical Systems is recalling five Allura Xper FD10, FD20, and FD20 Biplane medical imaging systems because a specific software update (version 8.1.100) prevents the table's pivot brake from engaging. When installed on systems with an AD7NT non-tilt table, this defect can cause the patient table to move unexpectedly during medical procedures. Only five units are affected globally, including one unit in the United States. Owners should contact Philips Medical Systems for technical support and to arrange for a software correction.
The failure of the pivot brake allows the patient table to move without warning, which could lead to patient injury or complications during sensitive imaging or surgical procedures.
