Siemens recalls specific AXIOM Artis BC X-ray machines (model 5904649) due to power supply issues that can prevent X-ray function during procedures.
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 BC X-ray machines because a power supply problem may cause the X-ray tube to stop working during procedures. This could lead to incomplete imaging and potential delays in medical care.
The power supply in the generator control can fail sporadically above a specific voltage threshold. When this happens, the X-ray tube stops receiving required voltage, making X-ray imaging impossible during procedures.
Healthcare facilities using the specific model and serial numbers listed are most at risk. Patients undergoing X-ray procedures with these machines may experience interrupted imaging.
Check for the model number 5904649 on the machine. Affected units have serial numbers: 14101, 14111, 14108, 14099, 14094, or 14112.
Verify the model number is 5904649 and the serial number matches the listed numbers.
