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 FDA Class II recall describes a risk-of-harm product with no reported injuries or deaths. The hazard—equipment collision risk from default configuration settings—meets the criteria for High severity as a risk-of-harm situation without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling the Luminos dRF Max diagnostic imaging system (Model 10762471) due to a risk of collision with room structures and objects.
