It was reported to philips that the azurion 7 m20 system's fluoroscopic image quality was not as expected during a vascular treatment, as the stent seemed to "disappear"/filter away behind the bone structure, and that the stent was not placed in the intended area.According to the customer, they had to place more stents than necessary due to the fact that the stents were ¨somehow misplaced¨.The customer confirmed that this did not impact the patient outcome and the patient is doing well.Customer has reported that this occurred with 3 patients.This report corresponds to the third patient.Philips has started an investigation into this complaint.A follow up report will be submitted when further information is received.
