Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has recalled 4 units of the Mobilett Mira wireless (VA20) mobile x-ray system because the buzzer component was incorrectly mounted. This defect means that the machine does not emit an audible sound when the x-ray is activated, though the system still functions correctly and produces clinical images. While a visual LED light still indicates when an x-ray is being taken, the lack of an acoustic signal removes a standard safety indicator for the operator. The affected units have specific serial numbers and were manufactured in the United States.
The absence of an acoustic signal during x-ray activation may lead to the operator being unaware that radiation is being emitted if they are not looking at the visual LED indicator. This could potentially result in unintended radiation exposure to staff or patients in the immediate vicinity.
