GE Healthcare recalls certain Revolution Maxima M CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans, potentially requiring 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 Maxima M CT scanners that may produce rotated images during scans. This can cause the same rotation issue to reoccur if a rescan is needed, potentially requiring additional scans.
The CT scanner may rotate images by up to 56 degrees after the first scan, causing the entire anatomy to shift. This rotation repeats if a rescan is needed, but does not distort the images or affect anatomical positioning.
Medical facilities using the recalled CT scanners are affected. Patients undergoing scans on these units may experience repeated image rotation issues.
Check for model number 6670000-2 on the scanner. Serial numbers CBDOG2400029HM, CBDOG2400031HM, and CBDOG2400030HM indicate affected units.
Identify the model number on the scanner, which should be 6670000-2 for affected units.
No, the rotation does not distort images or cause injury. The issue may require rescan but does not affect patient safety directly.
Check for model number 6670000-2 and serial numbers CBDOG2400029HM, CBDOG2400031HM, or CBDOG2400030HM.
No, the remedy is not specified, but the issue may require rescan if image rotation is noticed.
