Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 50 Artis Q and Artis Q.zen ceiling systems, model numbers 10848281 and 10848354. These dedicated angiography systems are used for single and biplane diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures, including cardiac, neuro, and general angiography.

The recall is due to suboptimal routing of the cable, which may result in increased wear over time. Without additional measures, damage to the cable may result in limited functionality and, in rare cases, failure of the system. In rare cases, an ongoing procedure could be terminated.
