Siemens Medical Solutions USA recalled 758 units in the U.S. and 2,077 outside the U.S. of ARTIS pheno and ARTIS Icono imaging systems after a dose-display anomaly could misrepresent high X-ray doses. The devices may still be within regulatory dose limits, but the displayed dose may appear significantly higher. Clinicians should stop using the devices and await manufacturer guidance.
During patient examinations, the system may sporadically display a major increase of the x-ray dose applied to the patient. Despite the reported dose showing significantly higher, the actual applied x-ray dose levels are in accordance with the system settings and imaging conditions, as well as the applicable regulatory requirements.
