Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling the ARTIS icono floor angiography system (Material Number 11327700), used for single and biplane diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures. A total of 7 units have been affected.
The recall is due to a hardware defect in the cable connectors of the system generator. During excessive fluoroscopy or acquisition operations, the cable connectors may experience thermal overload. This can produce a burning smell detectable from the generator cabinet and may cause the system to lose imaging functionality for the affected plane, necessitating cancellation of clinical treatment or transfer to an alternative system.
The affected systems have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to numerous international locations. Facilities operating these systems should contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. immediately if they suspect any related issues. If a burning smell is detected or if imaging functionality is unexpectedly lost, the affected system should be taken out of service immediately.
This is an FDA Class II medical device recall (FDA Recall Number Z-2360-2023). Affected units can be identified by UDI-DI 4056869149325 and serial numbers 170561, 170549, 170559, 170546, 170552, 170571, and 170570.
