| 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. Cust |
