GE Medical Systems is recalling SIGNA Premier Elite MRI systems sold in China because planned maintenance checks for caster locks on the patient table may not have been completed. This could lead to the table moving unexpectedly during scans, posing a risk of injury to patients or staff.
The caster locks on the MRI patient table may not have been properly checked during planned maintenance. If the locks fail, the table could shift unexpectedly while a patient is being scanned, potentially causing injury.
Owners of SIGNA Premier Elite MRI systems sold in China since March 2023 are affected. Medical facilities using these systems for MRI scans are most at risk due to potential table movement during procedures.
Check if your system has a GE SIGNA Premier Elite model and was purchased in China since March 2023. The system ID numbers are listed in GE HealthCare's maintenance records.
Review your system's ID number to confirm it was maintained by GE HealthCare since March 1, 2023.
