Medical Imaging System May Fail to Release X-rays Under Specific Conditions
Siemens Artis zee floor angiography systems may fail to release x-rays when the SID lift and x-ray functions are activated simultaneously, causing procedural delay. Three units are affected.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with software malfunction causing procedural delay. Source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, deaths, or serious adverse events. The hazard is operational inconvenience rather than a reported safety risk.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling Artis zee floor angiography systems with software VD12 (Model 10094135) distributed nationwide. When the SID (source-to-image distance) lift movement is activated and an x-ray is simultaneously released, the x-ray function fails to operate and displays the message "No x-ray, try again," resulting in a short delay in the procedure.
This Class II recall affects three units with serial numbers 124703, 139012, and 139023. The issue is a software malfunction that occurs only when both SID lift and x-ray functions are triggered at the same time, preventing the x-ray from being released during that specific circumstance.
Healthcare facilities operating these systems should be aware of this condition and take appropriate measures to avoid simultaneous activation of the SID lift and x-ray functions during procedures.
