Siemens ARTIS Angiography Systems Recalled for Excessive Radiation Dose
Siemens is recalling ARTIS angiography systems where the first X-ray after patient registration may use incorrect copper prefiltration, potentially resulting in higher radiation doses than intended.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall for a risk-of-harm condition (potential radiation overdose in rare situations) with no reported illnesses or injuries, which per the rubric qualifies as High severity.
