Siemens is removing three software applications from 88 NAEOTOM Alpha CT systems because the applications have not received FDA 510(k) clearance.

Our severity reasoning: Scored 2 because the record cites a missing 510(k) clearance rather than a device defect, with no stated consequence or reported harm.
