Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has recalled 604 units of Cios Alpha, Cios Flow, and Cios Spin VA30 mobile fluoroscopic C-arm X-ray systems. These medical imaging devices are used in surgical environments but currently contain a software issue and fail to meet updated industry standards for imaging performance. This defect can lead to incorrect medical diagnoses or require patients to undergo repeat radiation exposure. The company has initiated this voluntary recall to address these software requirements and ensure patient safety during surgical procedures.

Risk

The software defect may cause the imaging system to provide inaccurate diagnostic data or fail to meet technical standards, leading to misdiagnosis or the need for additional X-ray scans, which increases the patient's total radiation exposure.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your device by checking the model name (Cios Alpha, Cios Flow, or Cios Spin) and the Material Number located on the system's identification plate. Affected Material Numbers are 11105200 (Alpha), 11108110 (Flow), and 10308194 (Spin).
  2. Cross-reference your device's unique Serial Number with the lists provided in the recall notice. For Cios Alpha, check for 237 specific serial numbers ranging from 40013 to 43339. For Cios Flow, check for 186 serial numbers ranging from 80006 to 83515. For Cios Spin, check for 181 serial numbers ranging from 50030 to 53224.
  3. Check for Unique Device Identifiers (UDI-DI) on your system labels: 04056869153490 (Cios Alpha), 04056869246628 (Cios Flow), or 04056869153506 (Cios Spin).
  4. If you have an affected system, contact your facility's biomedical engineering department or Siemens Medical Solutions directly to arrange for the necessary software updates and compliance checks.
  5. Consult with your healthcare provider or radiology department regarding any concerns about previous diagnostic procedures performed with these systems.
  6. For further information or technical support, contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA at their Malvern, PA headquarters or call the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
