Manufacturer Reason for Recall |
A capacitor inside the converter of the Velara X-ray generator may fail after a large number of surges in a short period of time. When this occurs, no image acquisition is possible.

FDA Determined Cause 2 |
Component design/selection |
Action |
On December 30, 2019, the firm notified customers via Medical Device Correction letter. Customers were informed of the product issue and advised to do the following:
If the capacitor of the Velara X-Ray fails as described (capacitor failure after large number of surges in a short period of time), please switch off the system, take it out of service immediately, and contact your local Philips representative.
The firm will be resolving the issue by replacing a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in the convertor, which prevents the capacitor from failing. PCB replacements started in January 2020. Customers will be contacted by their local Philips representatives to schedule a date for the PCB replacement.
Customers with further questions should contact the Technical Support Line: 1-800-722-9377. |
