Siemens Biograph mCT Flow Edge-4R Systems Recalled for Missing Locking Ring

Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling three Biograph mCT Flow Edge-4R systems because they may be missing a locking ring on optional ceiling mounts.

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 does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or deaths, nor does it explicitly describe the hazard as a high-risk pathogen or common allergen mislabeling. It is a mechanical defect without reported harm, fitting the Moderate category for low-risk or voluntary precautionary issues.
