Siemens recalls Artis zee biplane models with material no. 10094141 for angiography procedures due to potential black screen after power save mode without error message, requiring treatment cancellation or system restart.
After the Large Display returns from power save mode, it may not show an image, and stay black without showing an error message although X-ray is still possible. The problem does not occur during an ongoing procedure. If the problem occurs, the system cannot be operated normally. It may be necessary to cancel or restart the treatment or transfer the patient to an alternate or another system.
