Siemens recalls specific Pro.specta Emission Computed Tomography Systems with SLD Look Ahead Optical Sensor Assembly that may cause reduced image resolution during scans. Affected models and serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
During a whole-body planar scan with auto-contour, there is a possibility the short-linear drive (SLD) look-ahead sensors may trigger earlier than expected and may result in detector 1 positioning further from the patient than needed leading to a reduction in image resolution.
Siemens is recalling certain Pro.specta Emission Computed Tomography Systems that may cause reduced image resolution during scans. This could lead to less accurate medical imaging results if the device is used without correction.
The SLD Look Ahead Optical sensors in these systems may trigger earlier than expected during scans, causing the detector to position further from the patient. This can reduce image resolution, potentially leading to less accurate medical imaging results.
Healthcare facilities using the affected Pro.specta Emission Computed Tomography Systems are likely affected. Medical staff and patients using these systems for scans may be at risk of less accurate imaging results.
Check for the specific models: Symbia Pro.specta Q3 (Model 11364751), Symbia Pro.specta X3 (Model 11364752), or Symbia Pro.specta X7 (Model 11364753) with software version VA20A. Look for the listed serial numbers and UDI-DI codes in the recall notice.
Identify if your device is one of the affected models: Symbia Pro.specta Q3, X3, or X7 with specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
