GE Healthcare recalls certain Revolution Maxima CT scanners that may produce progressively rotated images during scans, potentially requiring rescan. Affected models include 6665000-2, 6670000-2, 6670000-200, and 6670000-6.
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 models of Revolution Maxima CT scanners that may produce progressively rotated images during scans. This issue could require patients to undergo rescans if image rotation is noticed, though the rotation doesn't distort anatomy and may not be noticeable in small degrees.
The CT scanner's operator console upgrades can cause images to rotate progressively after the first scan. The rotation increases with each subsequent image, potentially up to 56 degrees, but the anatomical positioning remains correct without distortion.
Medical facilities using the recalled Revolution Maxima CT scanners are most at risk. Patients may need rescans if image rotation is noticed, but the rotation doesn't distort anatomy.
Check for model numbers 6665000-2, 6670000-2, 6670000-200, or 6670000-6 on the scanner. These models were sold with specific serial numbers and UDI/DI codes listed in the recall notice.
Identify the model number on your GE Healthcare Revolution Maxima CT scanner to see if it matches the recalled models.
No, the rotation does not distort anatomy and may not be noticeable in small degrees. However, it could require rescans if noticed.
Check for model numbers 6665000-2, 6670000-2, 6670000-200, or 6670000-6 on your scanner. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI/DI codes listed in the recall notice.
No, the issue does not require immediate stoppage. The rotation is gradual and may not be noticeable, but rescans may be needed if rotation is detected.
