Official recall record

Philips Allura and Azurion

What the authority reported

Philips has identified a potential safety issue with the Philips Allura and Azurion product families having monoplane fixed ceiling mounted systems. The ceiling mounted l-arm contains a rotation cover that may potentially be susceptible to falling if a collision between the l-arm and other hospital equipment (i.e., an operating light) were to occur. Although the cover is retained by a safety chain, if a collision were to occur the chain may also detach resulting in the cover falling on the patient, user, or bystander. Recall start date: November 3, 2023

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
