Siemens recalls Artis Icono biplane systems with certain tables due to software issues that could delay procedures. Affected units may require restarts to continue treatments.
Five potential software issues affecting Artis pheno and Artis icono systems in combination with a Siemens Healthineers table or Trumpf/MAQUET table (OEM). The potential software errors are related to the block movements function and manual rotation of the flat detector. Depending on the status of the intervention, the limited functionality may not be sufficient to continue with treatment as planned. This may result in a situation where clinical treatment may be delayed until an additional restart is performed
