Why these products were recalled

Five potential software issues affecting Artis pheno and Artis icono systems in combination with a Siemens Healthineers table or Trumpf/MAQUET table (OEM). The potential software errors are related to the block movements function and manual rotation of the flat detector. Depending on the status of the intervention, the limited functionality may not be sufficient to continue with treatment as planned. This may result in a situation where clinical treatment may be delayed until an additional restart is performed

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
