Reason

A lock-up might occur inside the Velara Generator due to intermittent shorts inside the system. The problem can only resolved by a warm or cold system restart. In exceptional cases the power converters of the KVmA unit in the generator are damaged and the system can not be restarted.

Root cause

Software design

Action

On 02/04/2010, Philips Healthcare began sending out the URGENT-Device Correction Notices to their consignees. The firm issued two notifications, one for the Allura Integris and Xper FD10C, FD10F, FD10F/C and FD20 Monoplane X-Ray imaging systems with the Velara Generator. The second notification is for the Allura Integris Xper FD10 and FD20 Biplane X-ray imaging systems with the Velara Generator. This notice informs the consignees that a system locks up during a critical interventional case and it might impose a serious injury to patients. This lock up issue could only be resolved by a warm or cold system restart. A warm restart would take about 90 seconds or a cold restart would take about four minutes, and the device could not be used during this time. If the system does not work after the restart, the consignees should contact the Philips Healthcare Customer Service Representative at 1-800-772-9377 #5 (then follow prompts). A service representative will visit each consignee and conduct a software and hardware upgrade.
