Siemens recalls ARTIS Icono floor angiography systems due to potential thermal overload in cable connectors during excessive fluoroscopy, which may cause burning smells and loss of imaging functionality.
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 ARTIS Icono floor angiography systems because a hardware issue in the cable connectors can cause thermal overload during high-use fluoroscopy. This may lead to a burning smell, loss of imaging function, and the need to cancel treatments or switch to another system.
The cable connectors in the system generator can overheat when performing excessive fluoroscopy or acquisitions. This overheating may produce a burning smell, cause loss of imaging functionality for one or both planes, and require treatment cancellation or switching to another system.
Healthcare facilities using Siemens ARTIS Icono floor angiography systems with specific serial numbers are affected. Medical staff and patients using these systems during procedures are at risk if thermal overload occurs.
Check for the serial numbers: 170561, 170549, 170559, 170546, 170552, 170571, or 170570. These are the specific models affected by the recall.
Verify if your system has one of the listed serial numbers: 170561, 170549, 170559, 170546, 170552, 170571, or 170570.
The recall is due to a hardware issue in the cable connectors that can cause thermal overload during excessive fluoroscopy, potentially leading to a burning smell and loss of imaging functionality.
Check your system's serial number against the list provided. If it matches, contact Siemens for further instructions.
The recall describes potential loss of imaging functionality and the need to cancel treatments, but does not mention injuries or death. The hazard is not severe enough to require immediate stop-use.
