Siemens Medical Solutions recalls interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems that may incorrectly report high radiation doses due to rare sensor-software communication failure.
In very rare situations, communication between the sensor measuring dose applied to the area and the corresponding software fails. As a result of the failure, the system may incorrectly report an application of a high dose.
Siemens is recalling interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems that could incorrectly report high radiation doses in rare cases. This might lead to unnecessary radiation exposure during procedures if the system's dose readings are not trusted.
The system's sensor and software sometimes fail to communicate, causing it to report a high radiation dose when none was actually applied. This could lead to unnecessary radiation exposure during medical procedures if the system's dose readings are not trusted. However, the failure is very rare and does not affect the actual radiation delivery.
