Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Siemens is recalling 269 Artis Q biplane X-ray systems (Model Number 10848282) distributed nationwide. The systems have a defect in their cooling circuit that may cause the coolant level to drop below safe operating levels. When this occurs, the X-ray tube does not receive sufficient cooling, and the system displays a "TUBE HOT, have a break" message followed several minutes later by a "NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT" message that blocks X-ray function to prevent damage to the equipment.
The recall affects specific serial numbers of the Artis Q biplane systems. The recall source does not specify a remedy or corrective action for affected consumers to take.
