Siemens recalls Artis zeego and Artis Q.zeego X-ray systems with model numbers 10280959 and 10848283 due to potential stand movement failure after BIOS battery discharge during startup.
It may occur that after system startup no stand movement is possible any longer in the event of a discharged BIOS battery of the robotic stand control PC. If this problem occurs during startup, all stand movements are blocked and can only be reactivated by a field service engineer.
Siemens is recalling two interventional fluoroscopy X-ray systems because a discharged BIOS battery can block all stand movements during startup. This could prevent the system from moving properly until a field service engineer fixes it.
If the robotic stand's BIOS battery discharges during startup, the system may not move at all. This can happen without warning and requires a field service engineer to fix, which might delay procedures.
Medical professionals using the Artis zeego or Artis Q.zeego X-ray systems with the specified model numbers are most at risk. These systems are used in hospitals and clinics for procedures like angiography.
Check for model numbers 10280959 (Artis zeego) or 10848283 (Artis Q.zeego) on the system. The recall applies to systems sold with UDI-DI codes 04056869010083 or 04056869010007.
Identify the model number on your Artis zeego or Artis Q.zeego system to confirm if it is affected.
Reach out to Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc for guidance on next steps if your system is affected.
The recall is due to a potential issue where a discharged BIOS battery can block all stand movements during startup, requiring a field service engineer to fix.
Check for model numbers 10280959 (Artis zeego) or 10848283 (Artis Q.zeego) on your system, or UDI-DI codes 04056869010083 or 04056869010007.
No, but if you experience stand movement issues during startup, contact Siemens immediately as the system may need a field service engineer to fix.
