(Shimadzu Medical Systems Oceania Pty Ltd - X-ray system, diagnostic, fluoroscopic, general-purpose, stationary, digital)
Recall Action Level Hospital
Recall Action Classification Class II
Recall Action Commencement Date 14/08/2024
Responsible Entity Shimadzu Medical Systems Oceania Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue Shimadzu Medical found that certain software versions of their X-ray TV system SONIALVISION G4 may occasionally fail to display images when switching from Fluoroscopy mode to Radiography mode.

Even when this event occurs, it is possible to solve this problem by turning off the power of the system once and then pressing the reset switch on the digital radiography unit's control cabinet.

However, there may be a possibility of delay or cancellation of the inspection because it is different from normal operation.
Recall Action Product Defect Correction
Recall Action Instructions Customers are to:

· When switching from the fluoroscopy mode to the radiography mode, if a phenomenon occurs in which the image is not displayed, turn off the power of the system once and press the reset switch on the image collection cabinet. Then restart the system.

· Contact their local Shimadzu representative or contact Shimadzu National Technical Support as an authorised representative or technician will investigate potential affected products and will upgrade to the corrected software.
