What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a risk of physical injury to patients, but the source text explicitly states the risk is 'unlikely' and no injuries have been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 37 Ysio Max radiographic systems distributed nationwide in the United States. The Ysio Max is a medical device used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices for radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body, including the skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities.

This detachment could cause the table top to tilt to the left side, creating an unlikely risk of injury to a patient on the table. The affected systems are identified by specific model and serial numbers listed in the recall documentation.

Healthcare facilities should contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for instructions on how to address the issue with the patient table. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
