Siemens recalls Cios Spin VA30 mobile X-Ray systems with serial numbers 50030-50196. The main cable can disconnect during use, causing electrical shock if the X10 connector pins are touched. Affected units must be checked for error code 16305/80.
Main cable can be plugged or unplugged from the X10 connector which is part of the main unit (c-arm) at any time during clinical session. If the system displays the error message Err 16305 / 80, the unplugging of the main cable can cause an unsafe electrical voltage (125 V DC) at the X10 connector and result in an electrical shock if the user or other persons touch the contact pins of the X10 connector. These contact pins are accessible when the main cable is unplugged from the X10 connector
Siemens is recalling mobile X-ray systems that can disconnect during use, potentially causing electrical shock. If the system shows error code 16305/80, unplugging the main cable creates a dangerous voltage at the connector that could shock users.
The main cable can accidentally disconnect during X-ray procedures, creating a 125 V DC electrical shock hazard at the X10 connector. If the user touches the exposed contact pins after unplugging, they could receive an electrical shock. The system displays error code 16305/80 when this issue occurs.
Healthcare professionals using Siemens Cios Spin VA30 mobile X-ray systems with serial numbers starting from 50030 to 50196 are most at risk. Patients and staff near the system during clinical sessions could also be affected.
