UIH recalls uCT 550 MD CT scanners with specific serial numbers due to risk of mechanical interference from third-party covers during patient table movement.
Third-party outer covers can become trapped between patient table and gantry, causing mechanical interference during table movement.
UIH is recalling specific models of CT scanners (uCT 550 MD) because third-party covers can get stuck between the patient table and gantry, potentially causing mechanical issues during scans. This could lead to unsafe table movement and patient discomfort or injury.
Third-party covers can become trapped between the patient table and the CT scanner gantry during movement. This mechanical interference might cause the table to move unexpectedly, potentially leading to patient discomfort or injury.
Healthcare facilities using the uCT 550 MD CT scanners with the listed serial numbers are affected. Patients undergoing scans with these models may be at risk if the third-party covers are not properly secured.
Check for the model uCT 550 MD with serial numbers listed in the recall notice (353020 to 354017). The scanners are Rx Only, meaning they are for medical use only.
Verify if your scanner has a serial number from the list: 353020, 353021, 353023, 353045, 353049, 354001 to 354017.
