Why these products were recalled

Siemens is releasing a software update that provides bug-fixes to improve system performance for customers with SOMATOM Definition AS, SOMATOM Definition Edge, SOMATOM Definition Flash Systems with software version VA48A_SP2 and Care Contrast license correction of potential safety issues.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
