Regex regex = new Regex(Pattern,RegexOptions.None);

The ^ anchor requires the match to appear at the start of the string and $ requires the match to appear at the end of the string. What you need is to find the match as a whole word. Use word boundaries:

\b[0-9]{1,10}_[a-z0-9A-Z-]{2,12}_XICM_[0-9]\b
^^                                         ^^
