Philips Integris-Allura X-ray systems recalled for cooling unit oil leakage risk
Philips Integris-Allura X-ray systems recalled for cooling unit degradation
A rubber hose inside the X-ray tube cooling unit (type CU3101) on certain Philips Integris-Allura systems can degrade and leak oil over time. This reduces cooling performance and causes the system to automatically switch to low-dose mode with a "Tube cooler problem" message that cannot be cleared by restarting. The affected cooling units were manufactured between February 2016 and May 2020.
- If you operate one of the affected Philips Integris-Allura models, check the serial number against the FDA notice
- Contact Philips Medical Systems for inspection or replacement of the cooling unit
The deaeration hose in X-ray tube cooling units type CU3101, manufactured between February 2016 and May 2020, may degrade over time, potentially resulting in oil leakage. Oil leakage may affect the cooling performance of the X-ray tube. When the oil flow drops below a certain threshold, the system automatically switches to low-dose fluoroscopy and displays the message Low load fluoroscopy flavor selected: Tube cooler problem . This condition cannot be resolved by restarting the system.
