Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling approximately 120 UROSKOP Omnia and UROSKOP Omnia Max imaging systems. A component called a resistor in the frequency inverter can severely overheat, which may cause the plastic housing of the inverter to catch fire. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but the defect poses a significant fire hazard in clinical settings.
The frequency inverter's resistor can overheat to temperatures high enough to ignite its own plastic housing. This creates a risk of fire within the medical facility, which could lead to smoke inhalation or burn injuries for patients and healthcare providers.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
