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.”

What changed

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. issued a Class II recall for ARTIS Pheno VE30A and VE40A systems (Model 10849000) after identifying that during 3D acquisitions, lighter and darker patient images may be captured, potentially resulting in less accurate 3D reconstruction and unintentional low-dose radiation exposure to patients. The recall affects 73 units distributed in the U.S. and internationally, with a Customer Advisory Notice issued to all affected customers dated March 9, 2026.

Healthcare facilities with these ARTIS Pheno systems should monitor for the Siemens Customer Advisory Notice and follow any provided instructions for affected units.

| 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. |
