ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A Imaging System
Siemens is recalling ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A imaging systems (Model 10849000) due to unregulated dose causing unintentional low-dose radiation exposure.
Contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. immediately to obtain a software update that regulates the medium dose during 3D acquisitions. Do not perform 3D acquisitions until the update is applied.
Why it was recalled
During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.
