Why it was recalled

What the company is doing
Philips issued Urgent Medical Device Correction (UMDC) letter US customers in the US on 11/3/23 and a Field Safety Notice (FSN) to customers outside the US. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: As a remedy, Philips is replacing the existing covers of all the affected Philips Allura and Philips Azurion with the monoplane fixed ceiling mounted systems with a redesigned L-arm rotation cover (bolted instead of spring clips) to make sure it is resistant to external collisions. Philips will contact all affected customers to arrange for a Field Service Engineer visit to replace the Larm rotation cover free of charge (reference FCO72200510 for the Philips Allura systems including the Philips Poly G H5000, FCO72200511 for the Philips Azurion systems). If you need any further information or support concerning this issue, please contact the Customer Care Solutions Center (1-800-722-9377).
