Event Description

Philips was informed that during a procedure for a percutaneous coronary intervention, the user noticed that the system gave a signal that the system was generating x-ray after the footswitch was released.The user decided to stop the system by using the emergency button.After a restart the system did not function anymore, this led to a situation where the user had to deflate and remove the balloon without image.According to the customer this could have led to a cardiac arrest.The patient was moved to another cathlab where the procedure was finished.

Philips investigated this issue.The host pc of the system was defective.Replacing the host pc solved the issue reported.The replaced host pc was evaluated and it was found out that the disk bay of the host pc was defective.Because of this the system was unable to turn off the x-ray buzzer or respond to any commands during the clinical procedure.The design of the allura system ensures that when the footswitch is released, the x-ray is stopped within 400ms maximum.This is the case even if the handling of the x-ray stop in software is having any delay.Because the defective disk bay of the host pc, the system did not restart.Search in the complaints database has not shown similar cases.Analysis of replacement rate for the host pc did not show any negative trend.No further action will be taken.
