Ysio enables radiographic and tomographic exposures of the whole body including: skull, chest, abdomen, and extremities and may be used on pediatric, adult and bariatric patients. It can also be used for intravenous, small interventions (like biopsy, punctures, etc.) ad emergency (trauma, critical ill) applications. Exposures may be taken with the patient sitting, standing, or in the prone position. The Ysio System is not meant for mammography. The Ysio uses an integrated or portable digital detector for generating diagnostic images by converting x-rays into electronic signals. Ysio is also designed to be used with conventional film/screen or Computed Radiography *CR) cassettes.

Reason for Recall

Excessive usage of cleaning liquid on Siemens Ysio Systems may cause infiltration of the generator console, which may lead to a short circuit causing an unintended release of radiation.
