Siemens recalls Artis Q biplane imaging systems with VD12 software for potential short procedure delays if x-ray release is interrupted during imaging.
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 biplane imaging systems with specific software versions due to a risk of short delays in procedures if x-ray release is interrupted during imaging. This could affect medical procedures requiring precise timing.
If the system's source-to-image distance lift movement activates and x-ray release happens at the same time, the system may display 'No x-ray, try again' instead of proceeding with imaging. This can cause short delays in medical procedures without causing injury.
Medical facilities using Siemens Artis Q biplane systems with the specified software versions are most affected. Patients undergoing imaging procedures with these systems may experience brief delays.
Check for model numbers 10848282 or serial numbers listed in the recall notice (122025, 122012, 122022, etc.). These systems were sold with software version VD12 for angiography imaging.
Verify your system's software version by contacting Siemens or checking the device's settings.
No, the recall only causes potential short delays in procedures, not injury risk.
Check for model number 10848282 or the listed serial numbers (122025, 122012, etc.) in the recall notice.
Contact Siemens to check your software version; no immediate action is needed if the system is functioning properly.
