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.

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.
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.
