- Action
- Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc., provided Customer Information Letter on 3/3/21 to affected customers via CT063/20/S. Customers with valid email addresses emailed a copy of the CSAN via Adobe Mega Sign. The CSAN will be distributed to the remaining customers address via hand delivery by the Siemens Customer Service Engineer. The letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: Siemens Healthineers has developed software update syngo.CT VA30A_SP3 to ensure uninterrupted scanning workflows and to reduce the number of user notifications. This update will also provide improvements related to the general system, examination and reconstruction processes, as well as improvements for dual energy post-processing. Following the corrective action, the cause has been eliminated and recurrence of the identified issues are prevented. This software update will be provided to you free of charge. How will the corrective action be implemented? Software update CT084/20/S will be performed onsite for SOMATOM X.cite (Model #11330001). For all other systems, the update CT064/20/S will be performed remotely. The remote software updates process will require approximately 180 minutes for completion.
