Siemens recalls specific AXIOM Artis dTA X-ray machines (model 7008605) due to power supply issues that can prevent X-ray function during procedures. Affected units have unique serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
A tolerance issue in the power supply of the generator control above a specific value may cause generator A100 failure. As a result, the X-ray tube will not be supplied with the required voltage and X-ray will not be possible. The issue occurs sporadically; however, it may occur during an on-going procedure.
Siemens is recalling certain AXIOM Artis dTA X-ray machines because a power supply issue can cause the X-ray tube to stop working during procedures. This means the machine might not function properly while in use, potentially affecting medical imaging.
The power supply in the generator control can fail sporadically above a specific voltage threshold, causing the X-ray tube to not receive required voltage. This may prevent X-ray imaging during an ongoing procedure, though the issue is not guaranteed to occur.
Medical facilities using the specific model (7008605) with listed serial numbers are affected. Patients undergoing X-ray procedures with these machines may be at risk if the machine fails during a procedure.
Check if your AXIOM Artis dTA machine has the model number 7008605 and one of the listed serial numbers (e.g., 55163, 55713, etc.). The recall covers specific units sold with these identifiers.
