Philips Azurion Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray System recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

Potential Loss of Imaging (X-ray) Functionality and/or Longer Time to Perform Cold Restart

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
