Philips Allura Xper FD20/20 X-ray system recalled for missing cooling drip tray
What this means
Philips identified that 8 Allura Xper FD20/20 X-ray systems may be missing a drip tray beneath the cooling unit due to incomplete installation or documentation during previous repairs. If the tray is not in place, coolant liquid could contact electrical components and cause a short circuit, potentially shutting down the system.
- Locate your system's serial number (11, 117, 110, 134, 64, 90, 124, or 72)
- Visually inspect beneath the cooling unit to confirm the drip tray is installed
- Contact Philips Medical Systems immediately if the tray is missing or you cannot verify its installation
- Do not operate the system if the drip tray is absent
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.
