Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. - Class 2 Recall

The Siemens Symbia T Series is a radiological imaging system that is a combination of a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) camera system for nuclear medicine images, and a computed tomography (CT) camera system for x-ray images. Product Usage: Indications for use: The Siemens Symbia T series is intended for use by appropriately trained health care professionals to aid in detecting, localizing, diagnosing, staging and restaging of lesions, tumors, disease and organ function for the evaluation of diseases and disorders such as, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and cancer. The images produced by the system can also be used by the physician to aid in radiotherapy treatment planning and interventional radiology procedures. SPECT: The SPECT component is intended to detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ (physiology), using the following techniques: planar imaging, whole body imaging, and tomographic imaging for isotopes with energies up to 588 keV. CT: The CT component is intended to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data (anatomy) from either the same axial plane taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. SPECT+CT: The SPECT and CT components used together acquire SPECT/CT images. The SPECT images can be corrected for attenuation with the CT images, and can be combined (image registration) to merge the patient s...
