Postmarket safety review
7 exact-submission FDA recall records in the 2026-09-02 openFDA snapshot identify K133259. Affected model, version, unit, correction, and current manufacturer instructions still require local confirmation. FDA recall Z-1339-2020 is Terminated for Ysio Max, model no. 10762470 - Product Usage: The Ysio Max is a radiographic system used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices. Ysio Max enables radiographic and tomographic exposures f the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) and emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio max system is not meant for mammography.. FDA reason: A software bug may lead to one image to be assigned to two different patients, which could potentially affect medical diagnosis. FDA action: On January 8, 2020, the firm notified customers of the product issue via an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter. Customers were instructed to ensure that the image displayed after acquisition is a newly acquired image and belongs to the current patient. If the error occurs and a previously acquired image is duplicated, the user should delete the image and contact Siemens Customer Service at 1-800-888-7436 to report the incident. Siemens Healthineers will correct the error with a field software update which will be available beginning January 2020. Your local Siemens Healthineers Service organization will contact you to arrange a date to perform this corrective action when the software update is available for your system. Please feel free to contact our service organization for an earlier appointment at 1-800-888-7436. FDA recall Z-2758-2020 is Terminated for SIEMENS Healthineers Ysio Max - Interventional Fluoroscopic X-Ray System, Model: 10762470 - Product Usage: is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting an X-ray pattern into a visible image.. FDA reason: Two software issues (1) Using the override function in case of blocked system movements affecting Luminos dRF Max, Luminos Agile Max and Uroskop Omnia Max systems may cause collision of the system under operator control with obstacles or persons .(2) Incorrectly assigned image affecting Ysio Max, Luminos dRF Max and Luminos Agile Max systems with detector MAX Static causing incorrect base for diagnosis FDA action: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has initiated a Customer Safety Advisory Notice to all affected customers via XP028/19/S January 2020. Additionally, a solution to eliminate the root cause of this problem is being distributed via XP008/20/S March 2020. Following the corrective action, the cause is eliminated and a recurrence of the fault is prevented. New corrective software VE10Y became available June 22, 2020, and it is being distributed via an Update Instruction XP008/20/S. This update fixes the initial reported issue and the sporadic image loss issue noted by customers who had already installed VE10W (XP029/19/S). The original Customer Safety Advisory Notice (XP028/19/S) and the information letter distributed in March 2020 remain applicable. This resolution will be provided free of charge. Your local Siemens Healthineers Service organization will contact you to arrange a date to perform this corrective action . Questions contact the service organization for an earlier appointment at 1-800-888-7436 FDA recall Z-0300-2019 is Terminated for Ysio MAX (model number 10762470) with Tube stand 3D V (model number 7042018 or 7042034), radiographic systems used in radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body.. FDA reason: In rare cases of high clinical workload, the steel cables inside the lifting column of the overhead tube, which are designed to take the load, may rapture without triggering the safety lock. This could lead to overloading the safety rope, which is not designed for continuous load and ongoing movement under load. This may lead to mechanical fatigue and cause the arm to drop down unexpectedly during movement in vertical direction and during patient positioning. FDA action: Urgent Medical Device Correction notification letters dated 8/6/18 were distributed to customers. The letters instruct customers to do the following: To avoid the above mentioned risk until implementation of the corrective action, it is strongly recommended not to perform up/down movements of the lifting column directly above the patient. Instead, the vertical movement should be completed beside the patient and then the system should be moved horizontally to the patient. How will the issue finally be resolved? Siemens Healthineers is preparing a corrective action that will resolve this potential issue. The corrective action will be distributed via an Update Instruction XP025/18/S and is planned to be available in the end of August 2018. How will the corrective action be implemented and how effective is the corrective action? Our service organization will contact you shortly to arrange a date to perform this corrective action with Update Instruction XP025/18/S. Please feel free to contact our service organization for an earlier appointment at 1-800-888-7436. FDA recall Z-0015-2017 is Terminated for YSIO Max Product Usage: The Ysio Max is a radiographic system used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices. Ysio Max enables radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) and emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio Max system is not meant for mammography.. FDA reason: Siemens became aware of a potential issue with the patient table for Ysio Max and Multix Fusion systems. There is an unlikely risk that an internal part of the table may detach causing the table top to tilt to the left side which could result in an injury to a patient on the table. FDA action: Siemens sent a Customer Safety Advisory Notice letter dated August 4, 2016 to their customers. The letter identified the affected product, problem and actions to be taken. The letter instructed customers to discontinue use of the tables until one of their service technicians can inspect the affected part of each table. FDA recall Z-1667-2015 is Terminated for SIEMENS Ysio Max; a radiographic system used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices. Ysio Max enables radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) and emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio Max system is not meant for mammography. The Ysio Max uses integrated or portable digital detectors for generating diagnostic images by converting x-rays into electronic signals. Ysio Max is also designed to be used with conventional film/screen or Computed Radiography (CR) cassettes.. FDA reason: Study and all acquired images deleted when using systems with software version VE10E. Acquisitions have to be repeated. Connection with portable detectors (MAX wi-D, MAX mini) is sporadic in image recovery. Pressing undo button on the RAD subtask card or previous series button on the Image subtask card during image readout. Sporadically, during an automatic or a manual RIS update. FDA action: A safety advisory notice, dated April 13, 2015, was sent to end users with affected devices to alert them about the issue and associated risks,and to provide instructions for avoiding potential risk. A new software version will be released to permanently resolve the issue. FDA recall Z-0994-2015 is Terminated for Ysio Max, Luminos dRF Max and Agile Max systems with software version VE10 and SmartOrtho license. The Ysio Max is a radiographic system used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices. Ysio Max enables radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) and emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio Max system is not meant for mammography. The Ysio Max uses integrated or portable digital detectors for generating diagnostic images by converting x-rays into electronic signals. Ysio Max is also designed to be used with conventional film/screen or Computed Radiography (CR) cassettes.. FDA reason: Potential for composed images to be flipped before being sent to PACS on systems with software version VE10 and SmartOrtho license. Flipped images may be reversed so the associated annotations, e.g. labels (R/L), may be displayed incorrectly, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. FDA action: The firm, Siemens, sent a "Safety Advisory Notice - XP080/14/S" letter dated December 8, 2014, to end users that identified the product, problem, and actions to be taken. Siemens provided instructions to avoid the issue and indicated a software fix would be released as a permanent resolution. The customers were instructed observe this safety notice and comply with the corresponding measure until the update has been fully completed. If you have any questions, contact the Regulatory Technical Specialist at 610-219-2119. FDA recall Z-0002-2015 is Terminated for Siemens Ysio Max system The Ysio Max is a radiographic system used in hospitals, clinics, and medical practices. Ysio Max enables radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) and emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio Max system is not meant for mammography. The Ysio Max uses integrated or portable digital detectors for generating diagnostic images by converting x-rays into electronic signals.
