Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling six units of the SimView NT and SimView NT with IDI simulation systems. These devices are used for radiation therapy simulation to plan cancer treatment. The recall involves specific model numbers 5496992 and 5497016 with serial numbers 6035, 6080, 6029, 6032, 6019, and 6001.
The recall was initiated because Siemens identified a very rare occurrence where an intended movement of the simulation system components could not be stopped using usual hand control commands or the collision detection functionality. This defect creates a possibility that the simulation system components could collide with a patient and/or system equipment.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (PA, KY, LA, MA, MI, and CA) and in various international locations. Users of these systems should contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for further instructions regarding the recall and necessary corrective actions.
