Firm Action
Siemens issued an Urgent Medical Device Correction (UMDC) to US customers via FedEx on August 15, 2019. The UFSN was electronically issued to all OUS Siemens sites, with affected customers, for distribution, as well as regional reporting to their respective local competent authority on August 16, 2019.
The UMDC/UFSN explain the behavior(s) to users and provide actions to be taken to correct the behavior. Customers are requested to return the Effectiveness Check Form, in the UMDC/UFSN via fax or email.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has released an updated software (SW) version (V) 1.20.0, which corrects the reported behavior(s). A Mandatory Update (MU) campaign has been launched to install the new SW V on all systems, whether or not they are impacted by these behaviors.
