Siemens recalls Artis Q floor angiography systems with software VD12- due to potential short procedure delays if x-ray release is interrupted during imaging. Affected units include specific model numbers and serials listed in the recall.
If SID (source-to-image distance) lift movement is activated and x-ray shall be released simultaneously; x-ray is not possible and the message No x-ray, try again is displayed, may result in a short delay in procedure
Siemens is recalling Artis Q floor angiography systems with software version VD12- because a software issue can cause delays in procedures when x-ray release is interrupted. This does not pose a safety risk but may lead to temporary delays in medical imaging procedures.
If the system's SID (source-to-image distance) lift movement is activated and x-ray release happens at the same time, the system may display a message saying 'No x-ray, try again' instead of proceeding with the imaging. This can cause a brief delay in the procedure but does not cause injury or damage.
Medical facilities using Siemens Artis Q floor angiography systems with software VD12- are likely affected. Staff performing imaging procedures may experience short delays if the issue occurs.
Check for model number 10848280 and serial numbers listed: 104007, 104016, 104005, 104027, 104012, 104025, 104013, 132500, 104029, 104020. These units were sold starting November 15, 2021.
Verify your system has software version VD12- by checking the device settings or documentation.
No, this recall does not pose a safety risk but may cause short delays in procedures if the software issue occurs.
