Manufacturer 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. |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Component design/selection |
| Action | On October 17, 2023, the firm issued an URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION letter to affected customers.
According to the firm's letter, as the unintended behavior is caused by thermal startup effects, its occurrence can be avoided by only switching off the system for a short time. The firm suggests keeping the system running (except during proposed weekly reboot) if availability for treatment of emergency patients is necessary. Please plan for up to half an hour warm-up time after switching on the system.
The firm will contact affected customers to modify the mounting of the tube cover to mitigate the probability of occurrence of the issue.
You may contact the firm's service organization for an earlier appointment at 1-800-888-7436. |
