Siemens recalls ARTIS pheno interventional fluoroscopy systems with software version VE10B due to potential treatment delays. Affected units may require switching to another system if procedures cannot continue.
Siemens has become aware of three potential software issues with ARTIS pheno systems with software version VE10B. This may lead to a hazardous situation for patients if treatment cannot be continued on the system and treatment needs to be continued on an alternate system.
Siemens is recalling ARTIS pheno interventional fluoroscopy systems with software version VE10B. These systems could cause treatment delays if the procedure needs to continue on an alternate system, which may impact patient care.
