Action Taken
On 10/15/2010, Philips began sending out the URGENT-Device Correction Notice Failure Causing the Generator to Stop Working notification letter to their consignees. The consignees were informed that a short circuit may occur due to a faulty wire connection in the Supervisor Box Connector in the Generator, and it will cause the generator stops working. When the system fails during a critical interventional case, this may cause risk to patients (no Fluoro available). The systems involved in this recall are Allura Xper with the Velara Generator, Allura Integris with OMCP Generator, MultiDiagnost Eleva, and OmniDiagnost Eleva Imaging system. Consignees can contact Philips Healthcare Call Center at 800-722-9377, #5 and Reference FCO 70800114, 70800115, 72200184, and 72200185.
