ARTIS angiography systems may incorrectly report a high radiation dose
ARTIS angiography systems are being recalled because a communication failure between the dose sensor and the software may cause the system to incorrectly report a high dose.
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: FDA Class II recall where the reported dose may be overstated rather than understated, with no clinical consequence described in the source.
