Reason For
Recall
Image errors: A software problem results in on-screen indications (graphics) that lead the user to believe that the patient's right and left and the transducer orientation are oriented the same. This is not the case and the actual patient's right and left are reversed from the on-screen indicators.
Action The firm sent a recall letter, Urgent Medical Device Notification, to consignees on 07/10/2007, to be followed by a service visit by Siemens personnel for a mandatory software update to be installed. Short term the users were instructed to avoid increasing the SieClear compounding levels to an Advanced SieClear compounding setting after an L/R invert action with Biopsy guidelines on-screen.
