X-ray system displays incorrect collimation area information

The YSIO X.Pree x-ray system's user interface displays incorrect collimation information during image acquisition. While actual collimation functions correctly, the display does not match preset parameters, potentially confusing operators.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The issue is a user interface indication problem where the displayed collimation area does not match actual collimation, but the actual x-ray function is correct. This falls under minor labeling or indication errors.

Plain-English summary

The YSIO X.Pree is an automated multi-image x-ray acquisition system manufactured by Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. The recall involves 53 units distributed nationwide and worldwide.

During automated x-ray examination procedures, the collimation area displayed on the user interface does not correctly represent the actual x-ray collimation area specified by the system. The display shows a wider collimation area than what was preset for the examination. However, the actual x-ray collimation is performed correctly and matches the examination area predefined by the user.

This discrepancy between the displayed collimation area and the actual collimation could potentially cause operator confusion about the imaging area during the examination. Healthcare facilities using this equipment should review the recall notice from Siemens Medical Solutions and follow the manufacturer's instructions for addressing this issue.
