GE Healthcare recalls certain Revolution Eagle CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans, requiring potential rescan if noticed. Affected units have specific model and serial numbers.
GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Discovery, Optima, Revolution series CT systems, and certain operator console upgrades that can result in rotated CT images. Particularly with helical, cine, and cardiac (if applicable) scan modes, after the first image of an exam, each subsequent image can be rotated by an increasing amount. The amount of progressive image rotation is dependent on the gantry speed and the duration of the scan. The final image in the exam can be rotated up to a maximum of ~56 degrees. The entire anatomy rotates as a whole by equal degrees, without distortion, and the anatomical positioning and z-axis of the images remains correct. Small degrees of image rotation might not be noticed. If image rotation is noticed and necessitates a rescan of the patient, the same image rotation will reoccur.
GE Healthcare is recalling specific Revolution Eagle CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans. If image rotation is noticed and requires a rescan, the same rotation will reoccur. This could lead to inaccurate imaging results.
The CT scanner may rotate images by up to 56 degrees during certain scan modes, causing the entire anatomy to shift without distortion. This rotation can reoccur if a rescan is needed, potentially leading to inaccurate imaging results.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled GE Healthcare Revolution Eagle CT scanners are affected. Patients undergoing scans on these units may experience inaccurate imaging results if rotation is noticed.
Check for the model number 5849504-3 on the scanner. Affected units have serial numbers CBDPG2400004HM through CBDPG2400007HM.
Look for the model number 5849504-3 on the scanner.
Confirm the serial numbers CBDPG2400004HM through CBDPG2400007HM.
The recall is due to a potential issue with certain CT scanners that may cause images to rotate during scans, requiring potential rescan if noticed.
If image rotation is noticed and requires a rescan, the same rotation will reoccur, potentially leading to inaccurate imaging results.
No, the recall does not require stopping use; affected units should be checked for model and serial numbers.
