About This Product

The Allura Xper FD20 Biplane is a interventional radiology imaging system used in hospitals for fluoroscopy and X-ray procedures. It is distributed to healthcare facilities worldwide.

Why This Is Dangerous

The wired foot switch can fail to initiate X-ray imaging or may do so intermittently, potentially delaying or interrupting imaging during procedures.

Industry Context

This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Hospitals must halt use of affected devices, which could disrupt scheduling and patient care during procedures, and may require reallocation of imaging resources.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Check System Code on the device label for 722008 or 722013.
  2. Review the list of System Serial Numbers to confirm if affected (360, 361, 445, 296, 487, 390, 306, 178, 420, 267, 245, 2470, 491, 113, 386, 69, 413, 365).
  3. Cross-check with Philips recall notification and internal asset records.

Where to find product info

System Code and System Serial Numbers are printed on the device labeling and service documentation. The recall notice is posted by the FDA and Philips.

What timeline to expect

Recall processing and remediation may take several weeks. Expect guidance on replacement or repair within 4-6 weeks.

If the manufacturer is unresponsive

  • Document all communications with Philips and hospital leadership.
  • Escalate to hospital compliance or risk management if the supplier is slow to respond.
  • Consider notifying regulatory authorities if critical delays occur.

How to prevent similar issues

  • Establish a recall monitoring process for imaging equipment.
  • Verify recall status during procurement and commissioning of new systems.
  • Maintain up-to-date service and maintenance records and serial-number inventories.
