Siemens recalls ARTIS pheno-Angiography systems with specific serial numbers due to potential thermal overload in cable connectors during excessive fluoroscopy, risking imaging loss and treatment delays.
Due to a hardware issue in the cable connectors of the system generator, a thermal overload in the cable connections may occur when performing excessive fluoroscopy/acquisitions, a burning smell may be detectable coming from the generator cabinet and the system may lose the imaging functionality of the corresponding plane and result in a situation where it is necessary to cancel clinical treatment or to continue treatment on an alternative system
Siemens is recalling certain ARTIS pheno-Angiography systems because a hardware issue in the cable connectors can cause thermal overload during high use. This may lead to a burning smell, loss of imaging function, and the need to cancel treatments or switch systems.
The cable connectors in the system generator can overheat when performing excessive fluoroscopy or acquisitions. This overheating may cause a burning smell, temporary loss of imaging function for one plane, and could require canceling treatments or switching to another system.
Medical professionals using the recalled ARTIS pheno-Angiography systems for imaging and interventional procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing treatments with these systems may face delays or alternative procedures.
Check the serial numbers listed: 164840, 164851, 164854, 164853, 164855, 164856, 164833, 164836, 164845, 164850. These systems were sold with specific model numbers and material numbers.
Identify if your system has one of the listed serial numbers: 164840, 164851, 164854, 164853, 164855, 164856, 164833, 164836, 164845, 164850.
The cable connectors in the system generator can overheat during excessive fluoroscopy or acquisitions, potentially causing a burning smell, temporary loss of imaging function, and requiring treatment cancellation or switching.
No, but if you notice a burning smell or loss of imaging function, stop using it and contact Siemens immediately.
