Siemens recalls Artis zee angiography systems with specific cooling units due to potential coolant leaks causing electrical shorts and sudden shutdowns during procedures.
Due to a defective sealing, coolant may inflow into the electrical parts of the system cabinet, which could cause a short circuit and cause the system to shut down suddenly during an ongoing procedure
Siemens is recalling Artis zee angiography systems with a specific cooling unit model that could leak coolant into electrical components, causing sudden shutdowns during medical procedures. This poses a risk of interrupting critical imaging or treatment activities.
A defective seal in the cooling unit allows coolant to flow into the system's electrical components. This can cause short circuits, leading to sudden shutdowns during procedures, which might interrupt critical imaging or treatment activities.
Healthcare providers using the Artis zee systems with the specified cooling unit are most at risk, as sudden shutdowns could disrupt critical medical procedures.
Check for the Artis zee system with the Laird Cooling Unit labeled as Material # 7555118. This model is used for single and biplane diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures.
Identify if your Artis zee system has the Laird Cooling Unit with Material # 7555118.
