Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 13 Artis icono floor-angiography systems used for diagnostic and interventional imaging procedures due to a potential electrical shock hazard.
The hazard occurs if the protective earth (electrical ground) connection is interrupted while an additional electrical fault is present. Under these conditions, the system may fail to detect the fault current, potentially allowing electrical shock if a person contacts metallic parts of the equipment.
Affected healthcare facilities with these systems should contact the manufacturer immediately. The recalled systems were distributed nationwide. Facilities should verify protective grounding integrity and follow manufacturer instructions for corrective measures.
