Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling seven Sensis Vibe systems (Model 10765502) with software version VD15B due to a software vulnerability that may cause the application to crash.

The issue occurs when the documentation functionality is used while adding once-per-study reporting events during hemodynamic catheterizations or electrophysiology studies. When this specific combination of actions is performed, the system has the potential to crash, interrupting the diagnostic or administrative workflow.

Seven affected systems were distributed nationwide to facilities in California, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia. The affected serial numbers are 18023, 18022, 18020, 18021, 18019, 18025, and 18017.
