ARTIS Pheno VE30A/VE40A Recall - Z-1814-2026 - 73 Units
Summary
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. initiated a Class II device recall for 73 units of the ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems (Model 10849000). During 3D acquisitions, image brightness variations may occur due to unregulated medium dose and angular patient diameter changes, potentially resulting in less accurate 3D reconstruction and unintentional low-dose radiation exposure. A Customer Advisory Notice was issued to affected customers on March 9, 2026. The FDA determined cause relates to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act.
“Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. has initiated a Customer Advisory Notice to all affected customers dated March 9, 2026.”

| Manufacturer Reason
for Recall | 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. |
