Siemens recalls Artis Q ceiling angiography systems with software VD12 that may cause short procedure delays if x-ray release is interrupted during imaging. Affected units have specific 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 Q ceiling angiography systems with software VD12 due to a potential delay in procedures when x-ray release is interrupted. This could cause temporary delays in medical imaging procedures but does not pose a serious safety risk.
If the source-to-image distance lift movement is activated and x-ray release happens at the same time, the system may display 'No x-ray, try again' and cause a short delay in the procedure. This delay is temporary and does not involve physical harm or injury.
Medical facilities using Siemens Artis Q ceiling angiography systems with software VD12 are most likely affected. Patients undergoing imaging procedures may experience brief delays during their treatment.
