Siemens recalls Artis zee biplane MN model 10094143 due to potential coolant level issues that could cause X-ray system shutdowns. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI.
If the coolant level in the cooling circuit drops below a certain level, this may result in a situation in which the X-ray tube is no longer sufficiently cooled and the system will display the message "TUBE HOT, have a break". Several minutes later the system will block X-ray to prevent further damage and display the message "NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT".
Siemens is recalling Artis zee biplane MN X-ray machines with model number 10094143 because low coolant levels might cause the system to shut down and prevent X-ray imaging. This could lead to interrupted medical procedures if the issue isn't fixed.
If the coolant level drops too low, the X-ray tube overheats and the system displays a warning message. After several minutes, the system blocks X-ray production to prevent damage, potentially interrupting medical procedures.
Medical facilities using the Artis zee biplane MN model 10094143 with specific serial numbers are affected. Staff and patients using these machines for X-ray procedures are at risk of interrupted imaging.
Check for the model number 10094143 on the device. Affected units have serial numbers including 149100, 149401, 149421, 149106, 149202, 149420, or 149402. The unique device identifier (UDI) is 4056869010106.
Ensure the coolant level is sufficient to avoid overheating warnings.
