Siemens e.cam Gamma Camera Recall for Radial Brake Failure
Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling e.cam Gamma Camera systems due to a potential radial brake failure that could allow the detector to drift.
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 involves a mechanical defect in a medical device that could lead to injury, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 32,296 e.cam Gamma Camera systems. These emission computed tomography systems are intended to detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ using planar imaging, whole body imaging, and tomographic imaging.
The recall is due to a potential failure mode related to the radial brake, where the detector was able to drift. This issue led to a redesign of the brake redundancy circuit. The redesigned Brake Redundancy Circuit will force even a defective brake to engage in the unpowered state by applying a reverse charge to the brake and ensuring the brake has demagnetized.
The recall applies only to e.cam systems that were installed before December 31, 2004. Affected model numbers and serial numbers are listed in the official recall documentation. The products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous other countries.
