Siemens Luminos Agile Max diagnostic imaging systems recalled due to default configuration parameters allowing collision with room structures, risking serious injury to staff or patients.

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 risk-of-harm medical device where collision with facility infrastructure could cause serious injury to staff or patients. No injuries, illnesses, or deaths have been reported, and the hazard is potential rather than actual, placing this at the high-risk threshold for FDA Class II devices per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has recalled 506 units of the Luminos Agile Max diagnostic imaging system with software versions VE10 and VF11, used for radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging studies. All recalled units were distributed nationwide within the United States.

The recall addresses a configuration hazard. The system's room configuration parameters default to settings that allow the imaging equipment to collide with the ceiling, walls, or objects in the examination room. These collisions could result in serious injury to staff or patients.

Healthcare facilities using Luminos Agile Max systems should verify their equipment's serial number against the recall list to determine if they are affected.
