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 medical device defect that poses a risk of harm (unintended radiation exposure) but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 5 units of the SIEMENS brand ARTISTE syngo RT Therapist (RTT) version 4.3 software. The affected devices are digital linear accelerators equipped with the MOSAIQ OIS system. The recall involves the "In-session resumption" feature of the software.
The recall was initiated because the software may send previously completed beams or segments for delivery again to the control console. This defect results in the repetition of already delivered Monitor Units for the same beam or segment, potentially leading to unintended radiation exposure.
All 5 affected devices are located outside of the United States in Germany. No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text, as the devices are located internationally.
