Siemens Artis zeego X-ray Generator Recall for Power Supply Tolerance Issue

Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling 117 Artis zeego units due to a power supply tolerance issue that can cause generator failure and prevent X-ray imaging.

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, and the hazard involves a functional failure that prevents X-ray imaging but does not report direct physical injury or death.

Plain-English summary

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 117 units of the Artis zeego, Model Number 10280959, due to a tolerance issue in the power supply of the generator control. The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States.

The tolerance issue may cause the generator A100 to fail if the control exceeds a specific value. When this failure occurs, the X-ray tube is not supplied with the required voltage, making it impossible to perform X-ray imaging. The issue occurs sporadically and may happen during an ongoing procedure.

Healthcare facilities should identify affected units by checking the serial numbers listed in the recall notice. Siemens Medical Solutions is the recalling firm and is responsible for managing the recall process.
