What this classification means

FDA classifies a recall as Class II when using the recalled product, or being exposed to it, may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or when the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. In this case, the recalling firm is Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc and the affected product is described in FDA's record as: ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A, Model 10849000. FDA's stated reason for the recall is: During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional (additional items listed in FDA's full record). The recall is tracked under FDA recall number Z-1814-2026 and carries a status of Ongoing as of the most recent FDA enforcement report. This classification reflects FDA's assessment of the product defect described above, not a prediction about any specific patient outcome. FDA maintains a public enforcement report database so that consumers, physicians, and purchasers can look up the exact product identifiers involved before deciding what to do. Recall status can change while FDA and the recalling firm continue corrective actions, so checking the firm's own notice for the most current guidance is recommended.
