Philips Allura Xper FD20/10 X-ray system recalled for missing cooling drip tray
What this means
Philips identified that a small number of Allura Xper FD20/10 X-ray systems may be missing a drip tray that should be installed beneath the cooling unit. Without this tray, coolant liquid could contact electrical components and cause short-circuits, potentially shutting down the system.
- Check if your system has a drip tray installed beneath the cooling unit
- Contact Philips if you are unsure whether the tray is present or was previously installed
- Do not operate the system if the drip tray is confirmed 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.
