Philips North America is recalling several models of mobile X-ray systems, including the Zenition 50, Zenition 70, and Veradius Unity. These medical devices are used to provide imaging guidance for doctors during surgeries and diagnostic procedures. The recall is being issued because the wireless foot switch pedal can become stuck in the active position even after the operator stops pressing it, causing the machine to continue emitting radiation. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.
A stuck foot switch causes the X-ray system to emit unintended radiation. This defect poses a risk of unnecessary radiation exposure to both patients and medical staff, which could lead to radiation-related health complications over time.
