Siemens recalls ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A models 10849000 for potential inaccurate 3D imaging that could lead to unintended low-dose radiation exposure during scans.
During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.
Siemens is recalling certain ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A medical imaging devices because they may capture less accurate 3D patient images during scans, potentially causing unintended low-dose radiation exposure. This could affect patients receiving scans with these devices.
The devices may capture less accurate 3D patient images during scans due to unregulated medium dose settings and rotational acquisition. This can cause unintended low-dose radiation exposure to patients without any visible warning.
Patients undergoing medical imaging with the recalled ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A models may be at risk of unintended low-dose radiation exposure. Healthcare providers using these devices are most affected.
Check for the model number 10849000 on the ARTIS Pheno VE30A or VE40A devices. The unique device identifier (UDI) 04056869046877 is also associated with this recall.
