Siemens is recalling Artis Icono Biplane angiography systems because a fault in the electrical system could cause electric shock if the protective earth is interrupted. This affects medical imaging equipment used in hospitals and clinics.
If the protective earth connection is broken and a fault current occurs, the system may not detect the fault properly. This could lead to electric shock if a person touches metal parts of the equipment.
Hospitals and clinics using the Artis Icono Biplane angiography systems are most at risk. Medical staff and patients who interact with the equipment during procedures may be affected.
