    • Ongoing Z-1498-2023 FDA Class II initiated 2 Feb 2023

    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.

    • Ongoing Z-1311-2023 FDA Class II initiated 2 Feb 2023

    In the event of any unintended table movement, the system may not detect the incorrect direction, could lead to the injury of a patient, staff member, operator, or equipment.

    • Ongoing Z-0956-2023 FDA Class II initiated 16 Dec 2022

    Mechanical connection between the tabletop and table base may be lost.

    • Ongoing Z-0119-2023 FDA Class II initiated 20 Sep 2022 on shared 510(k) K163286

    Siemens has become aware of three potential software issues with ARTIS pheno systems with software version VE10B. This may lead to a hazardous situation for patients if treatment cannot be continued on the system and treatment needs to be continued on an alternate system.

    • Ongoing Z-1339-2022 FDA Class II initiated 25 Feb 2022

    After CT image data from Toshiba is loaded, image mirroring can occur along the horizontal and vertical image axes. If this error occurs, the patient orientation/position may be misinterpreted and result in inappropriate treatment, even if the incorrect visualization is obvious.

    • Ongoing Z-2029-2021 FDA Class II initiated 27 May 2021

    Software error VE10B -In case of a fault within the drivetrain of an axis and while performing a stepped peripheral imaging (PERISTEPPING/PERIVISION), the C-arm may leave its intended travel path by up to 22 cm (9") result in canceling clinical treatment or to continue treatment on an alternative system

    • Terminated Z-2108-2020 FDA Class II initiated 22 Apr 2020

    If the C-arm leaves its intended travel path due to a fault within the drivetrain, movements may be impacted or impossible and the area of interest cannot be reached. In the event the C-arms movements are not possible, the system can only be returned to normal operation with the support of a field service engineer

    • Terminated Z-1340-2020 FDA Class II initiated 24 Jan 2020

    Potential exists for one or more axes of the robotic stand to become blocked by their safety brakes; In the event the axis is blocked by its safety brake, the robotic stand can no longer perform the intended movements

    • Terminated Z-0807-2020 FDA Class II initiated 20 Dec 2019

    The potential exists for system movement to be permanently blocked by an activation of the collision sensor integrated in the cover of the collimator even when no collision has occurred.

    • Terminated Z-1905-2019 FDA Class II initiated 6 Jun 2019

    Artis Zee, Artis Q, Artis Pheno or Artis Icono systems equipped with a DCS Extended or DCS Movable, the potential exists for individual screws of the screwed connection joining the pivot bearing to the ceiling-mounted support to work loose or snap off, can result in severe injuries to patients and operating personnel

    • Terminated Z-3190-2018 FDA Class II initiated 29 Jul 2018

    Temperature of the detector may fall out of its designed working range (cool down) due to incorrectly configured temperature control unit. This unintentional system behavior may occur while the unit is powered down for long periods (e.g. at night).

    • Terminated Z-2748-2018 FDA Class II initiated 22 Jun 2018

    Potential hardware issue which may cause thermal effects and possible damage to system parts.

    • Terminated Z-2524-2018 FDA Class II initiated 30 May 2018

    During manual LAO/RAO rotation at maximum speed or a combination of LAO/RAO and Cran/Caud rotation at maximum speed, the possibility exists for the safety monitoring within the system control to become activated. As a result, the C-arm stops the rotation and can drop up to 40 mm (1.6 ).

    • Terminated Z-2283-2018 FDA Class II initiated 1 May 2018

    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.
