OmniDiagnost-Eleva X-ray system Angiographic and Diagnostic, Product Nos. 708026, 708027, 708028

The fixation of the upper and lower tilt actuator, of the Omnidiagnost system might break off and the table will start to rotate from 0 to + 90 /- 90 degree with high speed. This rotating movement can not be stopped by the user. This could potentially lead to the patient falling off the table. There is a risk of injury for the patient, user, or bystander.

On May 17, 2018, the firm issued Urgent Medical Device Correction letters to affected consignees. Customers were advised of the product issue. Customers were instructed to do the following: Stop using the system and call your Philips representative if any of the following situations occurs: . the table height or tilt movement is not working. . you notice a cracking sound or snapping sound different than the normal sound during height or tilt movement. . you experience a blockade in the table height or tilt movement during system movements. . the system is having an unexpected collision or the system had an unexpected collision in the past 2 months. . you have used a CPR stand that obstructed the system, or . you notice any (other) unusual system behavior beyond the normal use of the system.

Customer shall ensure that all staff with access to the affected systems are informed of the content of this Field Safety Notice.
