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.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 81 units of the Ysio stationary X-Ray system (model no. 10281013) in the United States. The recall affects 308 units worldwide. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the states of AR, CA, DC, FL, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, SC, TX, UT, VA, and WI.

The recall is due to a defect where the system may process incorrect internal values for the position of its ceiling tube stand. If a user activates longitudinal or transversal stand movement using the buttons at the tube head or the remote console, the system's controls may initiate an unintended correction of the tube stand position. This can result in unexpected movement of the equipment.

Healthcare facilities and users should contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for further instructions on how to address this issue. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
