Siemens recalls Ysio radiographic systems with VC10 software version 10281013 due to a software error that may cause unintended tube stand movement, creating collision risk for people or objects.
Siemens Healthineers has identified a software error in previous software version VB10 for the Ysio fully automated system. The unit may process incorrect internal values for the position of its ceiling tube stand. If the user activates a longitudinal or transversal movement at the time of the error, the system controls may initiate a correction of the tube stand position, resulting in an unintended movement. If the described error occurs, a potential for collision risk for objects or persons in the vicinity of the moving stand exists. This may result in minor to serious injuries to persons.
Siemens is recalling Ysio radiographic systems with specific software version and model numbers because a software error could cause the tube stand to move unexpectedly when activated, potentially causing collisions and injuries.
The software error causes the system to process incorrect internal values for the ceiling tube stand position. When the user activates a movement, the system may correct the tube stand position unexpectedly, creating a risk of collision with people or objects nearby.
Medical facilities using the recalled Ysio radiographic systems with VC10 software version 10281013 are most at risk, particularly during procedures where the tube stand is moved.
