Why it was recalled

Siemens is releasing a Customer Advisory Notice to explain meaning of a suffix o.p. that shows on some DICOM images on area, distance or perimeter values. This suffix stands for on projection and indicates that a shown measurement value may be different from the real value.

Root cause (FDA determination)

Error in labeling

Action the firm took

Siemens mailed to customers on August 04, 2016 a Customer Advisory Notice that provided interpretations about the meaning of measurement values like area, distance and perimeter shown as "o.p." by the syngo.plaza.
