ARTIS Q
Reason
As part of regular post market surveillance activities, Siemens discovered an error in the 19" live display, such that image reproduction may fail in the examination room. The loss of image can only occur immediately after system startup. This failure does not occur during normal operation or when the live image is displayed. Only systems which use a live display (reference dshc1914-dc with part number 10656055) in the examination room are affected. Live displays with other part numbers are not affected by this issue.
