Siemens recalls ARTIS pheno model 10849000 interventional fluoroscopy systems due to risk of collision sensor blocking system movement. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
The potential exists for system movement to be permanently blocked by an activation of the collision sensor integrated in the cover of the collimator even when no collision has occurred.
Siemens is recalling its ARTIS pheno interventional fluoroscopy systems (model 10849000) because a collision sensor might permanently block system movement during use. This could affect medical procedures requiring precise imaging.
The collision sensor in the collimator cover might activate and block system movement even when no actual collision occurs. This could cause the imaging system to malfunction during procedures requiring precise movement.
