Manufacturer
796 recalls in our database name Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 796 recalls from Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. we have scored against our rubric, 16 (2%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 69 (9%) are Severe.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
Siemens is recalling ARTIS pheno x-ray systems with VE10B software due to three potential software issues that may prevent continued treatment on the affected system, potentially requiring use of an alternate system.
Siemens has recalled Artis Q and Artis Q.zen X-ray imaging systems due to a potential X-ray tube hardware defect. In rare cases, if error detection fails, the system will not be able to release X-ray until shut down; 1,389 units are affected globally.
Siemens has recalled Artis icono X-ray imaging systems due to a potential hardware issue affecting a specific lot of X-ray tubes. If the error detection mechanism fails, the system cannot release X-rays until it is shut down.
Siemens is recalling certain X-ray imaging systems due to a potential hardware issue with the error detection mechanism. In rare cases, this could prevent X-ray emission until system shutdown.
Siemens recalls 399 units of AXIOM Sensis systems due to risk of patient electrical shock if the Signal Input Box mounting deviates from its default position.
Siemens' Sensis diagnostic tool may lose communication and fail to display vital signs during initial patient exams or after inactivity. Software updates are required.
The Sensis Vibe Combo diagnostic system may experience communication failure during patient procedures, causing vital signs data to be unavailable. The recall affects 13 units distributed across multiple U.S. states.
Siemens imaging systems with syngo VE20 software may display CT images mirrored horizontally and vertically when loading Toshiba data, potentially causing misinterpretation of patient positioning and inappropriate treatment.
Siemens Artis and Artis Q.zeego fluoroscopic X-ray systems may lose stand mobility if the robotic control system's BIOS battery discharges at startup. Field service is required to restore function.
Siemens is recalling 88 Artis Icono X-ray systems in the U.S. due to increased fan wear that could lead to electrical failure and malfunction of the imaging system during operation.
Siemens Artis Pheno fluoroscopic X-ray systems may lose video signals from the Large Display during procedures. In rare cases, both transceivers could fail, affecting displays in the examination and control rooms.
Siemens is recalling 51 Artis icono biplane angiography systems due to a potential grounding failure that could allow electric shock if someone contacts metallic parts during use.
Siemens has identified three potential software issues in Sensis programmable diagnostic computers. The issues may prevent treatment from continuing on the device, requiring patients to switch to alternate systems.
Siemens Artis icono angiography systems may pose electric shock risk if protective grounding is interrupted. Affected units sold nationwide; users should verify equipment grounding integrity.
Siemens CT scanner imaging software upgraded to version VB60 may display incorrect laser offset coordinates during patient marking. Fourteen units are affected in the United States.
Siemens CT scanner software upgrade may cause incorrect laser offset coordinates to display during patient positioning. No injuries reported.
Siemens is recalling 31 Acuson 9vE4 ultrasound transducers that may exceed thermal index limits, creating a potential risk of thermal injury. Affected units were distributed in US states and international locations.
Siemens syngo.via RT imaging software upgraded to VB60 automatically modifies laser configuration, potentially displaying incorrect laser offset coordinates during radiation therapy patient marking.
Siemens CT scanner software upgrade may display incorrect laser offset coordinates during patient marking. This defect affects 15 systems in the US across multiple states.
Siemens is recalling 38 Artis Q zeego X-ray systems nationwide due to a cooling circuit malfunction that may prevent adequate cooling of the X-ray tube, triggering automatic system shutdown.
Siemens is recalling 35 Artis icono floor diagnostic imaging systems due to five potential software errors affecting equipment movements and detector control. The defects may limit functionality during procedures and could delay clinical treatment until the system is restarted.
Siemens SOMATOM CT scanners with software syngo CT VA30A_SP4 may experience sporadic software errors causing scanning interruptions and potential unexpected radiation doses. 547 units affected nationwide.
Siemens' Artis zee X-ray imaging systems may have inadequate cooling if the coolant level drops, potentially causing X-ray tube overheating. The system displays warnings and blocks X-ray operation to prevent equipment damage.
Siemens is recalling 305 Artis zee floor X-ray imaging systems because the cooling circuit may fail to maintain adequate coolant levels, potentially causing the X-ray tube to overheat. The system includes automatic safeguards that shut down X-ray operation if overheating is detected.
Siemens is recalling 80 Artis Q floor X-ray systems nationwide due to a cooling circuit failure that may cause insufficient cooling of the X-ray tube, resulting in automatic system shutdown.
