Siemens Recalls Artis Q Angiographic X-Ray Systems for Generator Defects
Siemens is recalling Artis Q angiographic x-ray systems due to potential high-voltage generator failures and rare image display loss.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device with a potential for significant operational failure (high-voltage generator module failure) and loss of critical diagnostic imaging, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,500 Artis Q and Q.zen angiographic x-ray systems distributed worldwide. The recall addresses two independent potential causes of system defects.
First, in systems equipped with A100 Plus or A100G generators, attempting to resume operation after a fault detection can cause a module in the high-voltage generator to fail. Second, for biplane systems delivered with software version VD11B since April of this year, software issues combined with graphics card problems may rarely result in the loss of image display in the examination room.
The affected models include units with model numbers 10848280, 10848281, 10848282, 10848353, 10848354, and 10848355. These systems are used for various diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures, including cardiac, neuro, and general angiography. Healthcare facilities should contact Siemens to arrange for corrective action to address these defects.
