App-derived interpretation
This recall has been initiated due to a possible leakage of a hose in the cooling unit of the X-ray tube. The Artis zee system may lose coolant due to a possible leakage in a hose of the cooling unit in the X-ray tube. This will cause the X-ray tube not to be sufficiently cooled down. As a result, the system will display a message Tube hot, have a break . The X-ray will be blocked several minutes later and to prevent any damage to the machine the following message will be displayed NO XRAY, TUBE TOO HOT . This issue is very sporadic and may occur during an ongoing clinical procedure. Use of this product may have a potential impact on planned procedures as they may be delayed as well as in emergent cases, as clinical treatment may need to be terminated and transferred to a functioning system.
