Recall Details

Company:
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
Reason for Recall:
During a whole-body planar scan with auto-contour, there is a possibility the short-linear drive (SLD) look-ahead sensors may trigger earlier than expected and may result in detector 1 positioning further from the patient than needed leading to a reduction in image resolution.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

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

Status:
ongoing

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.
