Philips Ultrasound, LLC has recalled 4,819 Lumify Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems because they are incompatible with Apple devices running iOS 18. This software issue causes the system to fail when trying to perform live imaging, rendering the diagnostic tool unusable with updated mobile devices. The recall affects models 795005, 795161, and 989605449841. Users should stop using these systems with iOS 18 devices and contact the manufacturer to arrange for a software correction or device replacement.
The failure to perform live imaging prevents medical professionals from seeing real-time scans, which can lead to significant delays in clinical diagnosis or medical treatment. In emergency or critical care situations, the inability to use the ultrasound could result in serious patient harm due to the loss of diagnostic capabilities.
Quantity affected: 4,819 systems.
