Why it was recalled

Siemens became aware of a potential issue with the patient table for Ysio Max and Multix Fusion systems. There is an unlikely risk that an internal part of the table may detach causing the table top to tilt to the left side which could result in an injury to a patient on the table.

Root cause (FDA determination)
