GE Healthcare recalls certain Revolution Advance CT systems due to potential image rotation during scans, which may require rescan. Affected units have specific model numbers and serial codes.
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 Advance CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans. This could require patients to be rescanned if 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.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled GE Healthcare Revolution Advance CT systems with specific model numbers and serial codes are affected. Patients are at low risk as the rotation does not cause injury but may require rescan.
Check for model number 5849504 and serial numbers starting with CBDLG2400031HM through CBDLG2400040HM on the scanner's label or documentation.
Look for model number 5849504 and serial numbers starting with CBDLG2400031HM through CBDLG2400040HM on the scanner's label or documentation.
No, the rotation does not cause injury but may require rescan if noticed.
The entire anatomy rotates by up to 56 degrees without distortion, but the anatomical positioning remains correct.
If rotation is noticed and requires rescan, the same rotation will reoccur, but the images remain anatomically correct.
