Reported risk: Philips recently discovered an issue associated with EPIC ultrasound systems where the control panel arm assembly could have missing or loose screws. In these cases, if undue force, pressure or weight is applied, the control panel mechanism can fail and break off. We are aware of three instances where the control panel arm with missing/loose screws broke and collapsed, one of them causing a minor injury to the operator.
