Siemens Artis Q Systems Recalled for Potential Liquid Ingress
Siemens Medical Solutions is recalling Artis Q angiography systems because liquid may seep through the top cover, potentially disabling table movements. No injuries have been reported.
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 source text explicitly states that no injuries have been reported and the hazard is limited to potential device malfunction (loss of table movement) rather than direct patient harm.
