Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 2,099 ACUSON SC2000 ultrasound systems, model 10433816. These imaging systems are used to measure anatomical structures and provide information for clinical diagnosis.
The recall addresses two specific hardware issues: the metal component used to engage the wheel lock may become disconnected, and the system may lock up due to misalignment between the bezel and the MPI board. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international locations.
Siemens will provide customers with a new version of system software (VA35E or VB10C, depending on hardware configuration) and implement hardware fixes to resolve these issues in all units that have not already been corrected.
