Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Potential for loss of X-ray functionality after system startup or restart. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Software design |
| Action | Siemens notified consignees on about 10/14/2026 via letter titled "CUSTOMER ADVISORY NOTICE." Consignees were instructed to consider the potential for unavailability following startup or restart when planning the clinical use of affected systems. For critical, urgent, or time-sensitive procedures, healthcare professionals should determine in advance whether an affected system is appropriate for the planned procedure and consider established contingency measures, including the availability of an alternative system or treatment pathway. These precautions should remain in place until the corrective action has been completed on the affected system.
Siemens Healthineers is implementing Field Safety Corrective Action (FSCA) for affected systems. The corrective action includes a replacement of an affected component. The corrective action will be performed by Siemens Service Organization. This measure is intended to restore the affected systems to a configuration in which the described startup or restart issue is no longer expected to occur.
The service organization will contact consignees to schedule an appointment to perform corrective action. The corrective action is being distributed through Update Instruction AX047/26/S. If an earlier appointment is preferred, please contact your local Siemens Healthineers service organization.
Siemens is not recommending re-examination of patients.
Consignees were also requested to ensure all users of affected units are made aware of the issue and requested that consignees complete and return the response form provided. |
