Siemens Medical Solutions USA Recalls

Hazard: Siemens became aware of a potential issue with the patient table for Ysio Max and Multix Fusion systems. There is an unlikely risk that an internal part of the table may detach causing the table top to tilt to the left side which could result in an injury to a patient on the table.

Hazard: Siemens is releasing a Customer Advisory Notice to explain meaning of a suffix o.p. that shows on some DICOM images on area, distance or perimeter values. This suffix stands for on projection and indicates that a shown measurement value may be different from the real value.

Hazard: "We have received reports of patients hair being caught in the e.cam and Symbia E patient bed up/down drive. The purpose of this letter is to remind users of the patient positioning instructions for your e.cam or Symbia E system and to inform you of an update that will be performed by your local Siemens service representative."

Hazard: Due to an internal communication error between the firmware and the software of the components, the planned CT scan executes properly, but the injector is not started. Therefore, the contrast agent is not injected and the desired examination result is not achieved. This error only affects the automatic mode or coupled mode and does not affect the manual control of the injector.

Hazard: Due to an error in the 19 Live Display, image reproduction may fail in the examination room and the potential exists for the loss of images immediately after system startup.

Hazard: Incorrect values for the volume calculation. Software update VB30B via Update Instructions SY018/16/P to resolve software errors.

Hazard: Software issues. Siemens is voluntarily initiating a recall after they became aware of the following system behavior: 1) At times, the view and laterality marker is overlaid by patient demographic information, thus becoming difficult to read. 2) The facility name and address are not shown per default (in the current software versions this information is displayed only when the reader chooses an appropriate image text display mode).

Hazard: Software error in previous software versions in which two references for the same image may exist in the database.

Hazard: Siemens Medical Solutions, Molecular Imaging has become aware of a potential for unexpected SUV values if a non-Siemens phantom is used for calibration.
