Siemens LUMINOS Q.namix R X-ray system recalled for image display and patient data mix-up risk
What this means
Certain Siemens interventional X-ray systems with software version VB10D-SP02 have a software issue that can cause images to display incorrectly. When the automatic image-flip feature is used, images may not flip as expected, and in some cases, a previous patient's image could appear instead of the current patient's image.
- If you operate or maintain a LUMINOS Q.namix R system (SMN 11574002), contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA immediately for guidance.
- Do not rely on the automatic horizontal flip feature until Siemens provides a software update or fix.
- Verify patient images manually before clinical use to ensure correct patient data is displayed.
