Plain-English summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 17 Artis zee and Artis Q/Q.zen Interventional Fluoroscopic X-Ray Systems. The recall involves specific material numbers and serial numbers for floor, ceiling, and biplane configurations. These systems are used for diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures such as cardiac and neuro angiography.
The recall is due to a potential defect where the patient table mainframe may develop cracks. This structural issue could cause the upper part of the patient bed to detach mechanically, leading to falling parts. This presents a hazardous situation for both patients and medical personnel.
The affected units were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. Siemens is the recalling firm responsible for addressing this safety concern.
