- Recall started
- 12 March 2026
- Reason
- During 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, which may result in less accurate 3D reconstruction. The variation of brightness is a result of a constant unregulated medium dose and the angular change of patient diameter caused by rotational acquisition. This may result in unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to a patient.

- Reason
- There is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the primary and/or the auxiliary venting paths of the magnet helium containment venting system. In the event of a quench when both venting paths are blocked, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.

- Potential hardware issue for ARTIS icono ceiling system: collision sensor may falsely signal non-existing collisions for up to half an hour when the system is switched off for a longer time (e.g., overnight) and switched on. During this time, system movement is only possible with the "override" function with very slow speed and without further collision protection. This may lead to temporary unavailability of the system for diagnostic and therapeutic usage.

- If, during the procedure, X-ray has been released and a reference image has been stored, the following issue may occur: If "Adjust C-arm to Ref" is activated when the C-Arm is positioned outside of the working range the C-Arm will reach the target position with an inaccuracy of 5-10 mm. As a result, the message Endposition reached will be displayed .Leading to unintended direction of the movement causing crushing of a patient, staff member, operator, or equipmen Live images may not match the previously stored reference images. Overlay images may be shown inaccurate on anatomy (e.g., DSA Roadmap workflow does not match real anatomy). This may cause e.g., a vessel perforation in DSA roadmap.

- For the automated multi-image-acquisition procedure Ortho x-ray collimation is set in a preparative stage for the entire examination area prior to the exam. During acquisition of each individual x-ray image, the x-ray collimator is automatically positioned in a way that the subsequent series of acquisition covers the defined field of view needed for each step. However, during the acquisition the collimation area displayed to the operator on the User Interface does not correctly represent the collimation area specified by the system. It indicates to the user an open collimator instead, e.g., the information displayed on the User Interface shows wider area of collimation than values preset prior to the examination. However, the collimation of the x-ray is performed correctly and always matches the examination area predefined by the user.

If the user activates a longitudinal or transversal movement at the time of the error, the system controls may initiate a correction of the tube stand position, resulting in an unintended movement. If the described error occurs, a potential for collision risk for objects or persons in the vicinity of the moving stand exists. This may result in minor to serious injuries to persons.

- Reason
- Siemens identified two issues, In some cases, it is possible to perform an image acquisition although more than 20% of the beam does not hit the detector. This may only occur when an organ program for the wall mode without top alignment is selected and the system is moved to the centred position. If afterwards the operator activates the top alignment, increases the collimation, and lifts the tube, the system allows examination even with the tube being misaligned to the detector position. Hence, it is possible to overshoot the detector by more than 20%. From a clinical point of view, it is highly unlikely for the operator to trigger the examination as the misalignment is visible due to the light field being out of range. AND In very rare cases it may occur that the calculated dose value exceeds the limit of 2 Gy. This may potentially occur only when an organ program for free exposure is selected, and the system uses incorrect (too small) source-to-image distance (SID) for calculating applied dose. Hence, the calculated dose is much higher than the actual applied dose causing the buzzer, which normally notifies the operator about the exceeded limit of 2 Gy, to get activated erroneously.

- There is a software problem which affects the DSA Roadmap application on ARTIS Icono and ARTIS Pheno systems with software version VE20B. In rare cases, when the DSA acquisition has been started while the C-Arm or table is moving, there may be a shift between the image acquired at the start position and the image (i.e. DSA vessel map) taken at the reference position. This may lead to a DSA vessel map being overlaid to a subtracted fluoro image at a position that is not accurate.. However, if the displacement is slight or at an unfavorable plane, the user might rely on incorrect visualization of the catheter relative to the vessel map. This could imply danger to the patient.

- Reason
- If the user modifies for any reason (e.g. reduction of artifacts) the original image orientation of a standard MR protocol to acquire images in a different orientation for further processing in Synthetic CT , the software does not recognize the adapted acquisition plane. This may result in images with wrong geometry. When this distortion remains unnoticed and the images are subsequently exported to a treatment planning system (TPS), an incorrect calculated radiation treatment plan cannot be excluded. The occurence of this issue is very unlikely and has never been reported so far.

- This recall has been initiated due to a possible leakage of a hose in the cooling unit of the X-ray tube. The Artis zee system may lose coolant due to a possible leakage in a hose of the cooling unit in the X-ray tube. This will cause the X-ray tube not to be sufficiently cooled down. As a result, the system will display a message Tube hot, have a break . The X-ray will be blocked several minutes later and to prevent any damage to the machine the following message will be displayed NO XRAY, TUBE TOO HOT . This issue is very sporadic and may occur during an ongoing clinical procedure. Use of this product may have a potential impact on planned procedures as they may be delayed as well as in emergent cases, as clinical treatment may need to be terminated and transferred to a functioning system.

- If the C-arm is manually moved in the longitudinal direction to a fully extended position, the system's safety stop mechanism may be activated. As a result, the C-arm stops the movement and can drop up to 20 mm (0.8 ). Under certain circumstances, the cover of the detector or collimator can touch and possibly injure the patient due to the C-arm drop. This could lead to a situation in which it is necessary to stop the clinical treatment or continue the treatment on an alternative system.

- Reason
- E. CAM and Symbia system with foresight detectors performing gated or dynamic acquisition may lose some detector time information. Our risk analysis indicates that the probability of occurrence is remote. SPECT: To detect or image the distribution of radionuclides in the body or organ, using the following techniques: planar imaging, whole body imaging, tomographic imaging for isotopes with energies up to 588keV. CT: The CT component is intended to produce cross sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial place taken at different angles or spiral planes taken at different angles. SPECT+CT: Perform CT scans and nuclear imaging studies within the same instrument. To obtain attenuation corrected images and to provide registration of anatomical and physiological images within the patient's anatomy.
