Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 39 units of the Mobiletta Mira Mobile X-ray System (Model number 10273100). The recall was initiated after Siemens issued a Field Safety Alert regarding a potential risk to users when operating the device.

The hazard involves the potential for one of the system's main wheel shafts to break due to material fatigue. This breakage can occur if the device is regularly exposed to extensive mechanical strain, such as being driven over high thresholds for doors or elevators. If a shaft breaks, the chassis may fall to the ground on the affected wheel side.

The affected units were distributed across the United States, including the states of Iowa, South Dakota, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, Texas, Kansas, Idaho, Michigan, Georgia, Arkansas, and Illinois. Users should stop using the affected equipment and contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. for instructions on the recall.
