Philips North America is recalling 171 ProxiDiagnost N90 and ProxiDiagnost upgrade systems, which are multi-functional X-ray and fluoroscopy machines used in medical imaging. The recall was initiated because the Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) viewer may incorrectly display a previous patient's images when starting a new scan, potentially leading to a misdiagnosis based on the wrong patient's data. Additionally, a security vulnerability was identified in the Wireless Portable Detector configuration that could allow unauthorized individuals with physical access to the system to modify or export sensitive data to removable USB drives.
The display of incorrect patient images creates a risk of medical errors, as doctors may make treatment decisions based on the wrong clinical data. Furthermore, the security flaw allows for potential data tampering or unauthorized data theft if an individual has physical access to the hospital's imaging equipment.
