OEC Elite and OEC 3D Mobile C-Arms Exceeding 4% Source to Image Distance in X-ray Field.
GE Medical Systems is recalling OEC Elite and OEC 3D Mobile C-arm systems that may have an X-ray field size exceeding the 4% source-to-image distance limit. This could lead to increased radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in Appendix A of the recall notice.
The X-ray field size in these systems may exceed the 4% source-to-image distance limit, which can increase radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures. This is a potential risk for patients and medical staff during procedures requiring X-ray imaging.
Medical professionals using OEC Elite and OEC 3D Mobile C-arm systems with serial numbers listed in Appendix A are most at risk. Patients using these systems may also be exposed to higher radiation levels.
Check if your OEC Elite or OEC 3D Mobile C-arm system has a serial number listed in Appendix A (e.g., FAHXTX00002, FAHXTX00005, etc.). The recall applies to systems that may exceed the 4% source-to-image distance limit in X-ray field size.
Review your system's serial number to see if it appears in Appendix A of the recall notice.
The recall is due to potential X-ray field size exceeding the 4% source-to-image distance limit, which could increase radiation exposure during medical imaging procedures.
If your serial number isn't listed in Appendix A, the system may still be within the allowed source-to-image distance limit, but the manufacturer recommends checking the System Service Manual for the acceptance limit.
Check if your system's serial number appears in Appendix A (e.g., FAHXTX00002, FAHXTX00005, etc.).
