Reason
Siemens is informing all users of Artis Zee and Artis Zeego systems that under certain circumstances, the release of radiation can become blocked unnecessarily. This situation comes about after the system has booted up, and after an error with the large display occurs that causes the system to block the release of radiation. After this, the system remains in a state where radiation cannot be released, even if the error that triggered this state was only a temporary one, and the error condition itself goes away after a few seconds (such as a brief communication error).
