Siemens ARTIS pheno and ARTIS Icono biplane systems recalled for inaccurate x-ray dose display
Contact Siemens about your ARTIS imaging system
Siemens ARTIS pheno and ARTIS Icono biplane imaging systems may occasionally display an incorrect, higher x-ray dose reading during patient exams. The actual radiation dose delivered is safe and meets regulatory standards, but the displayed reading can be misleading. This affects certain model numbers used in hospitals and imaging centers.
- If you operate or manage one of these systems, contact Siemens Medical Solutions USA immediately for guidance
- Do not stop using the system; actual radiation levels are safe
- Ask Siemens for software or firmware updates to correct the dose display
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.
