Recall Details

Company:
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc
Reason for Recall:
If the C-arm is manually moved in the longitudinal direction to a fully extended position, the system's safety stop mechanism may be activated. As a result, the C-arm stops the movement and can drop up to 20 mm (0.8 ). Under certain circumstances, the cover of the detector or collimator can touch and possibly injure the patient due to the C-arm drop. This could lead to a situation in which it is necessary to stop the clinical treatment or continue the treatment on an alternative system.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.

During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.
