Philips Allura Xper FD20 OR Table recalled for missing drip tray causing electrical hazard
What this means
Philips identified that in a small number of operating room tables, a drip tray beneath the cooling unit may not have been installed during previous maintenance, or the installation was not properly documented. If missing, coolant could leak onto electrical components and cause a short circuit, potentially shutting down the system.
- Check if your Allura Xper FD20 OR Table (Model 722023) has a drip tray installed beneath the cooling unit
- Contact Philips Medical Systems if you cannot confirm the drip tray is in place
- Do not operate the system if you cannot verify the drip tray installation
The agency's original wording
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.
