Siemens E.CAM Gamma Camera Recall for Collimator Change Instructions
Siemens is recalling 3,090 E.CAM gamma camera systems to provide supplemental instructions and visual aids for proper collimator changes.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the existing manual is correct and the issue is a clarification of instructions. There are no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate risk or voluntary precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 3,090 units of the E.CAM gamma camera system. The E.CAM is a SPECT system used to measure the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in humans to determine metabolic and physiologic functions. The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and numerous foreign countries.
The recall was initiated following a customer complaint reported via the FDA's MedWatch process. A Hazard Analysis and Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA) investigation determined that while the existing user manual is correct, additional supplemental instructions with visual aids are needed to further clarify and emphasize the proper procedure for changing collimators.
The recall is intended to ensure that users have the clearest possible guidance for this specific maintenance task. No specific adverse events, injuries, or illnesses are reported in the source text. Users of the affected systems should refer to the supplemental instructions provided by Siemens to ensure proper collimator changes.
