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.

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.
