Philips Allura Xper FD20 X-ray system recalled for missing coolant drip tray
What this means
Philips identified that in 2 Allura Xper FD20 X-ray systems, the drip tray under the cooling unit was not installed or not properly documented during previous maintenance. If missing, coolant liquid could contact electrical parts and cause a short circuit, leading to system shutdown.
- Verify the drip tray is installed under the cooling unit on your system
- Contact Philips if you are unsure whether your unit was affected or corrected
- Do not operate the system if the drip tray is missing
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.
