Siemens Biograph 6-4R CT Systems Recalled for Missing Locking Ring

Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling specific Biograph 6-4R CT 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 or injuries, and the hazard is a missing component rather than a high-risk pathogen or structural vehicle defect, fitting the Moderate criteria for a precautionary recall without reported harm.
