X-Ray Imaging System Cooling Circuit Failure Recall
Siemens is recalling Artis zee floor MN X-ray systems due to a potential cooling circuit malfunction. If coolant drops below adequate levels, the X-ray tube may not cool properly and the system will automatically shut down.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The system includes automatic safeguards that prevent X-ray operation when cooling becomes insufficient, and the recall is precautionary in nature.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling the Artis zee floor MN imaging system, Model Number 10094142. Twenty-four units were distributed nationwide.
The cooling circuit in these systems may drop below adequate coolant levels, resulting in insufficient cooling of the X-ray tube. When this occurs, the system displays the message 'TUBE HOT, have a break' as a warning. If the cooling system does not recover within several minutes, the system automatically blocks X-ray operation and displays the message 'NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT' to prevent further equipment damage.
Facilities should verify their equipment serial numbers against the recall notice and contact the manufacturer for corrective action instructions.
