Siemens recalls LUMINOS Q.namix T X-ray systems with specific serial numbers due to potential display of previous patient images during single image acquisition. Affected units may need correction to prevent image overlap.
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 T X-ray systems that could show images from previous patients when taking single images. This risk means healthcare workers might accidentally process outdated images, potentially causing confusion in patient care.
The system sometimes fails to flip images correctly when using preset automatic horizontal flip settings. This can cause images from previous patients to be processed during single image acquisition, potentially leading to misidentification of patients.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled LUMINOS Q.namix T X-ray systems with specific serial numbers are most affected. Medical staff operating these systems could encounter image overlap issues.
