Reason for Recall

Root cause is under investigation, but the recall reason is listed as for systems over 10 years of life with LTE kits are experiencing propeller motor clamping bolt and x-ray tube locking bolt breaks. If this happens, it may cause erratic C-arm movements and potential collision with patients or bystanders, or detection of a false collisions and subsequent blocked movement of the c-arm. Movement may also cause image noise and black area on the x-ray image, and possible need to expose the patient to additional unnecessary radiation during re-examination.

Other Recalls by PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS NEDERLAND B.V.

• Class II: Risk 12/15/2025
  Philips has identified that in a limited number of impacted systems the drip tray beneath the cooling unit was not installed under previous field corrections, or evidence of the implementation was not adequately documented. If it is not installed, there is a potential for coolant liquid to contact electrical components. This could lead to electrical short-circuits, which may trigger system fuses and result in system shutdown.
