GE Healthcare recalls specific Revolution Ascend CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans, potentially requiring rescan. Affected units have unique 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 certain Revolution Ascend CT scanners that can produce rotated images during scans. This may require a rescan of the patient if noticed, but the images remain anatomically correct without distortion.
The CT system may rotate images by up to 56 degrees after the first scan image, especially in helical, cine, and cardiac modes. This rotation increases with scan duration and gantry speed. However, the images remain anatomically correct without distortion.
Healthcare facilities using the specific model numbers listed in the recall notice. Patients undergoing scans with these units may need a rescan if image rotation is noticed.
Check for the model number 6969000-100 on the Revolution Ascend CT scanner. Affected units have serial numbers starting with CBDWG2400100 through CBDWG2400116.
If you notice rotated images during a scan, the same rotation will reoccur and may require a rescan.
No, the images remain anatomically correct without distortion, so this does not pose a risk of injury.
Check for the model number 6969000-100 and serial numbers starting with CBDWG2400100 through CBDWG2400116.
No, the issue does not require immediate discontinuation; it may only require a rescan if image rotation is noticed.
