Siemens recalls specific LUMINOS Q.namix R X-ray systems with software version VB10D-SP02 due to potential display of previous patient images during single image acquisition. Affected units have unique serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
Ortho images acquired with preset automatic horizontal flip are not flipped and when acquiring single images, there is the possibility that an image of a previous patient may be processed.
Siemens is recalling certain LUMINOS Q.namix R X-ray systems that may display images of previous patients during single image acquisition. This could lead to unintended patient image overlap in medical procedures, though the risk is not immediately dangerous.
The software in these X-ray systems sometimes fails to flip images correctly when using preset automatic horizontal flip settings. When acquiring single images, the system may process images from previous patients instead of the current patient, potentially causing image overlap in medical procedures.
Healthcare facilities using the specific LUMINOS Q.namix R X-ray systems with serial numbers listed in the recall notice are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these systems may see unintended images from prior patients.
Check if your X-ray system has the Siemens Material Number (SMN) 11574002 and software version VB10D-SP02. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice, including 150050, 150035, and other numbers provided in the official notice.
Verify your X-ray system's serial number against the list of affected units provided in the recall notice.
The recall addresses a potential image overlap issue but does not indicate immediate danger to patients. The risk is low and relates to image misalignment during procedures.
Check if your system has the Siemens Material Number (SMN) 11574002 and software version VB10D-SP02, with one of the listed serial numbers.
No action is required if your system's serial number is not listed in the recall notice.
