GE Healthcare recalls two specific CT scanner models due to potential image rotation during scans, which may require rescan if noticed. Affected units have unique serial numbers and model 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 two specific CT scanner models (Revolution Frontier) that may produce rotated images during scans. This could require a rescan if the rotation is noticed, but the images remain anatomically correct without distortion.
The CT scanners 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, but the images remain anatomically correct and small rotations might not be noticeable.
Healthcare facilities using the specific Revolution Frontier CT scanners with model numbers 5232085-213 or 5873009 are affected. Patients and staff at these facilities are most at risk if image rotation causes a rescan.
Check for model numbers 5232085-213 or 5873009 on the scanner. Affected units have serial numbers starting with CBDUG2400014HM or CBDUG2400016HM.
Identify the model number on your scanner to see if it matches 5232085-213 or 5873009.
The recall does not mention injury risk; the images remain anatomically correct without distortion.
The rotation may require a rescan if noticed, which could lead to additional scans and potential delays in patient care.
Check for model numbers 5232085-213 or 5873009 and serial numbers starting with CBDUG2400014HM or CBDUG2400016HM.
