About This Product

The Allura Xper FD20 Biplane is an interventional radiology imaging system used during catheter-based vascular or neuro interventions. It relies on a BIOS battery to boot. The battery controls startup sequencing.

Why This Is Dangerous

If the BIOS battery depletes, startup cannot proceed and the device may not power on. The recall notes that no user messages appear before power depletion.

Industry Context

This recall is not presented as part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Hospitals may experience procedure delays or rescheduling due to startup failures. The immediate safety impact is the potential for a non-operational imaging system during critical procedures.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check model numbers 722008 or 722013.
  2. Review serial numbers listed in the recall notes (e.g., 491, 489, 360, 325, 142, 125, 312, 319, 82, 192, 244, 453, 306, 116, 124, 18270).
  3. Verify UDI-DI for the affected unit (722013 has 00884838059061).

Where to find product info
