Medical imaging systems recalled for missing safety spacer and warning label

Philips is recalling Integris-Allura IGTS Fixed Systems delivered to Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands due to missing Source-to-Skin Distance Spacers and required warning labels.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall involving missing safety-critical components (radiation-distance control spacer and warning label). No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical but relates to radiation safety control, warranting a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Philips North America is recalling Integris-Allura IGTS Fixed Systems that were delivered to Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. These medical imaging systems were distributed without required warning labels and are missing the Source-to-Skin Distance Spacer (also known as the Tube-spacer), which is a critical safety component.

The missing spacer and warning label create a safety risk because the spacer is designed to control and maintain the proper distance between the radiation source and the patient's skin during imaging procedures. Without this component, the required safety parameters cannot be ensured during operation.

If you have received one of these systems, contact Philips North America immediately to obtain the missing warning label and Source-to-Skin Distance Spacer. Do not operate the equipment until both the warning label and spacer have been installed.
