Reason

If the Sensis documentation functionality is used during adding of once-per-study reporting events (e.g., Type 1 events, as further defined in the administrator manual), the possibility exists that the application could crash.

Action

Siemens issued Urgent Medical Deice Correction letter (AX038/23/S-C) on 7/3/24 to Director of Diagnostic Imaging and/or Radiology Laboratory. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: If the Sensis documentation functionality is used and the described scenario occurs, users should continue the exam by opening a new study for the same patient without adding any Type 1 reporting events. You can compensate this by adding free text comments (procedure notes) only and manually inserting the desired information in those comments. Please ensure that patient treatment can be continued in other ways if there is any possible danger for the safety of the patient. How will the corrective action be implemented and what is the efficiency of the corrective actions? Siemens will correct the error with a software update via Update Instruction AX010/23/S. The corrective action mitigates the probability of occurrence of the issue. Based on our investigation you can continue to use your system/device. Our service organization will contact you shortly to arrange a date to perform this corrective action. Please feel free to contact our service organization for an earlier appointment at 1-800-888-7436.
