Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. is recalling 81 Artis Q.zen ceiling X-ray systems (Model Number 10848354) distributed nationwide. The recalled systems have a cooling circuit defect that can cause the X-ray tube to become insufficiently cooled when coolant levels drop below a certain threshold. When this occurs, the system displays a "TUBE HOT, have a break" message, and several minutes later blocks X-ray functionality and displays "NO XRAY: TUBE TOO HOT" to prevent further equipment damage.
The affected systems are identified by specific serial numbers ranging from 111000 to 111521. The recall record does not specify a remedy or corrective action for consumers to take.
