Siemens AXIOM Artis dFC X-ray Generator Recall for Power Supply Issue

Siemens is recalling 148 AXIOM Artis dFC units because a power supply defect may cause the X-ray generator to fail during procedures.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a functional failure (inability to produce X-rays) rather than a direct physical injury or contamination, and no injuries are reported.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 148 units of the AXIOM Artis dFC, Model Number 7412807, due to a tolerance issue in the power supply of the generator control. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The defect may cause the generator A100 to fail if the power supply exceeds a specific value. When this failure occurs, the X-ray tube is not supplied with the required voltage, making it impossible to produce X-rays. The issue is sporadic but may occur during an ongoing procedure.

The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers, nor does it report any injuries or illnesses associated with this recall.
