## Recalls of this device
- Jul 12, 2023 · Class II · Z-2256-2023: During a whole-body planar scan with auto-contour, there is a possibility the short-linear drive (SLD) look-ahead sensors may trigger earlier than expected and may result in detector 1 positioning fur

## Indications for use
The Siemens Symbia VA10A Family 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 or additional uses. 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 physiological (SPECT) and anatomical (CT) images. Software: The SPECTsyngo software is an acquisition, display and analysis package intended to aid the clinician in the assessment and quantification of pathologies in images produced from SPECT, PET, CT, and other imaging modalities. This CT system can be used for low dose lung cancer screening in high-risk populations.* *As defined by professional medical societies. Please refer to clinical literature, including the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (N Engl J Med 2011; 365:395-409) and subsequent literature, for further information.
