Action Siemens sent Urgent Field Correction Recall letters dated 12/18/08 to all users of the E.cam Systems. The accounts were informed of the potential risk to patients when they attempt to pull themselves up from the patient handling system (PHS) without any assistance and grabbing the field of view (FOV) indicator bar (aka flip-up armrests). The customers were advised to always assist the patient when getting on/off of the PHS. They also were advised that a Siemens Customer Service Representative would contact them within 90 days to schedule a corrective upgrade to the PHS with a modified FOV guide to mitigate the risk for patient injury free of charge. Any questions were directed to contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. at 1-800-767-2313 (USA) for assistance.
