Siemens recalls Artis zee biplane systems with VD12 software for potential delayed X-ray procedures during angiography. Affected units have specific model and serial numbers.
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 zee biplane imaging systems with VD12 software because a specific x-ray release sequence could cause delays in procedures. This delay might impact patient care timing but does not pose an immediate safety risk.
When the source-to-image distance lift movement activates and x-ray release happens at the same time, the system displays 'No x-ray, try again' instead of performing the x-ray. This causes a temporary delay in the procedure without causing injury.
