Siemens Ysio Radiographic System Software Error: Risk of Collision
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.
