Product description

ARTIS icono (ceiling configuration), Fluoroscopic x-ray system; Model no. 11328100

Reason for recall

Potential hardware issue for ARTIS icono ceiling system: collision sensor may falsely signal non-existing collisions for up to half an hour when the system is switched off for a longer time (e.g., overnight) and switched on. During this time, system movement is only possible with the "override" function with very slow speed and without further collision protection. This may lead to temporary unavailability of the system for diagnostic and therapeutic usage.
