Recall details

Recalling firm
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.
Reason for recall
Siemens will provide all customers a new version of system software (VA35E or VB10C depending on the hardware configuration). Hardware fixes will be implemented to address situations where the metal component used to engage the wheel lock becomes disconnected, and where the system locks up due to misalignment between the bezel and MPI board, in all units that have not already been corrected.
Action taken
On August 19, 2015, Siemens Ultrasound began sending a customer notification to users, advising them to correct the uppercase/lowercase differences in the patient name at the time of registration until the issue is resolved with a future software release. Siemens believed that the other issues in this correction will begin approximately November 30, 2015 and December 31, 2015. Field service reps will visit sites to install software updates or hardware corrections.
