About This Product

The ALLURA Xper FD20 is a diagnostic radiology system used in clinical settings to perform X-ray imaging. It is part of Philips’ Allura line of interventional imaging products.

Why This Is Dangerous

A failed or intermittent wired foot switch can prevent X-ray imaging from starting, delaying diagnosis or treatment during patient care.

Industry Context

This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Facilities must halt use of affected devices until remediation. Delays in imaging can affect patient outcomes and workflow, with potential financial and operational consequences.

  2. Verify model: ALLURA Xper FD20
  3. Record System Serial Number from device label: shown in recall data (e.g., 1706, 1730, 1936, etc.)

Where to find product info

System labels, user manuals, and the recall notice; the FDA recall page lists the affected codes.

What timeline to expect

Remediation timelines vary by facility; expect several weeks for replacement or service arrangements.

If the manufacturer is unresponsive

  • Document all contacts with Philips; escalate to hospital administration if needed; file a FDA consumer complaint if manufacturer support is insufficient.
  • Consider consulting your legal department if contract remediation terms are unclear.

How to prevent similar issues

  • Regularly review recall notices for radiology equipment
  • Maintain an updated biomedical engineering contact for urgent advisories
  • Verify foot-switch wiring integrity during pre-use checks
  • Ensure equipment is part of a formal recall process before service
