Siemens recalls ARTIS Icono biplane and ceiling models that may display 0 x-ray dose during patient exams, but actual radiation is still applied. Affected units have specific model numbers and UDI codes.
During patient examinations, the system may sporadically display a 0 x-ray dose administered to the patient. This behavior has only been observed during fluoroscopy and/or single-frame acquisitions. Despite the reported x-ray dose showing 0, an actual x-ray dose is applied to the patient.
Siemens is recalling certain ARTIS Icono biplane and ceiling x-ray systems because they occasionally show a 0 x-ray dose reading during exams, even though real radiation is still being delivered to patients. This could lead to unintended radiation exposure during procedures.
The system occasionally displays a 0 x-ray dose reading during fluoroscopy or single-frame acquisitions, but actual radiation is still applied to patients. This means patients could receive radiation without the system showing it, potentially leading to unintended exposure.
Healthcare facilities using Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane (Model 11327600) or ceiling (Model 11328100) systems are likely affected. Patients undergoing x-ray procedures with these systems may be at risk of unintended radiation exposure.
Check for the model numbers: ARTIS Icono biplane Model 11327600 or ceiling Model 11328100. Also look for the unique device identifiers (UDIs) listed in the recall notice.
