Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 22 units of the AXIOM Artis angiographic x-ray system, specifically model numbers 7412807, 7413078, and 7728392. The affected units are distributed in the United States across the states of Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas.
The recall is due to a potential defect where plastic coolant couplings may leak. If this occurs, liquid can enter the flat panel detector, leading to a failure of the detector. This malfunction may necessitate the cancellation or restart of a medical treatment, or the transfer of the patient to an alternate or another system.
Healthcare facilities should identify affected units by checking the serial numbers listed in the official recall notice. Siemens is the recalling firm and is responsible for addressing the defect. No specific instructions for end-users are provided in the source text, as the product is a medical device used in clinical settings.
