  • openFDA Device Enforcement Report-date coverage June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026 Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.
  • openFDA Device Recall event_date_initiated coverage June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026

Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.

Reason for recall

Siemens initiated a corrective action to address two possible, mutually independent causes of a system defect related to the following: - In Artis Systems with A100 Plus or A100G generators, an attempt to resume operation following detection of a fault can result in the failure of a module in the high-voltage generator. - For biplane systems delivered with software version VD11B since April of this year, software problems in conjunction with graphics card may, in rare cases, result in the loss of image display in the examination room.
