Siemens Dimension Reagent Management System Power Cord Recall

Plain-English summary

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc. is recalling 2,554 units of the Dimension Reagent Management System (RMS) power cord. The affected units have serial numbers ranging from 99060001 to 99062554. These power cords are components for the Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Dimension clinical chemistry analyzers, which are fully automated, microprocessor-controlled systems used to measure analytes in human body fluids.

The recall was initiated because partial insertion of the power cord into the RMS power input module can cause the plug to overheat, potentially creating a fire hazard. The source text notes that RMS units without a power cord retention clip may be affected.

The affected products were distributed across the United States, including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin and Pacific Islands, and all 50 states. Consumers and healthcare facilities should check their equipment for the affected serial numbers and contact Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics for instructions on how to resolve the issue.
