Philips has become aware of the potential for unintended radiation exposure with Zenition 70 systems with Vascular Extension option and a Wireless Foot Switch.
A wireless foot switch pedal may get stuck in the active position when the user releases the pedal, resulting in the emission of unintended radiation.
The design of the Alinity m System Solutions drawer enclosure may allow liquid (liquid waste or system solutions) originating in the System Solutions drawer to flow beyond the footprint of the instrument and into the walking-path of the user.
The associated product labeling does not adequately provide compatibility information for use of the 22.2 mm Diameter Ceramic Femoral Heads with cobalt-chrome femoral stems or stainless-steel femoral stems.
Due to manufacturing issues there is a potential for the catheter sheath to detach.

Unintended motion issues related to Interventional Control that may lead to collision of the Gantry/table with the operator or patient.
There have been at least 12 complaints from users as of March 3, 2025, reporting that they identified the ceramic C-Ring to be broken in half during use of the device. The ceramic C-Ring has a potential to break while in use. Maquet/Getinge determined that the issue was limited to the units of VH-4000 and VH-4001 manufactured with ceramic C-Ring, and the ceramic C-Ring was implemented in the Hemopro 2 devices from November 5, 2024, through February 14, 2025.

ABL90 FLEX and ABL90 FLEX PLUS analyzers running with Radiometer Windows 10 versions RWIN10 1.0 and RWIN10 1.1 may unexpectedly freeze (the analyzer ceases to operate) during a sample measurement. The analyzer software includes a feature (watchdog) that detects a freeze and automatically restarts the software to continue operating the analyzer. However, even if a restart occurs, any sample being processed at that time will be lost, potential to lead to delay in test results.
