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: This is a Class II medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The software malfunction poses a risk of delayed clinical treatment, fitting the criterion of risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported. Since the hazard is theoretical and unaccompanied by actual harm reports, the score is capped at 3 per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 20 units of the Artis pheno diagnostic imaging and interventional system. The devices were distributed nationwide and have been identified by specific serial numbers and a Unique Device Identifier (UDI).
The recall is due to five potential software issues affecting the Artis pheno system when used with Siemens Healthineers tables or Trumpf/MAQUET tables. The software errors involve the block movements function and manual rotation of the flat detector.
Depending on the status of the intervention, the limited functionality resulting from these software errors may not be sufficient to continue with planned treatment. This may result in delayed clinical treatment until the system is restarted.
Facilities with affected systems should verify their serial numbers against the FDA recall notice. Healthcare providers should contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for guidance on corrective actions or device replacement.
