GE Healthcare recalls China-only Discovery CT750HD systems with specific operator console upgrades that may cause CT images to rotate progressively during scans, potentially requiring rescan. Affected units have spare part number B80662DA.
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 Discovery CT750HD systems in China that have specific operator console upgrades. These upgrades can cause CT images to rotate progressively during scans, especially in helical, cine, and cardiac modes, which might require rescan of the patient. This could lead to repeated image rotation if a rescan is needed.
The operator console upgrade can cause CT images to rotate progressively during scans, especially in helical, cine, and cardiac modes. After the first image, each subsequent image rotates by an increasing amount, up to about 56 degrees. This rotation affects the entire anatomy without distortion but may require rescan if noticed.
Medical facilities in China using Discovery CT750HD systems with the specific operator console upgrade (spare part number B80662DA) are affected. Patients may be at risk if image rotation requires rescan.
Check if your Discovery CT750HD system in China has the operator console upgrade with spare part number B80662DA. The recall applies only to units sold in China with this specific part number.
Verify if your Discovery CT750HD system in China has the operator console upgrade with spare part number B80662DA.
GE Healthcare has identified a potential issue with certain operator console upgrades that can cause CT images to rotate progressively during scans, particularly in helical, cine, and cardiac modes.
If image rotation is noticed and requires a rescan, the same rotation will reoccur. This could lead to repeated rescan needs if the issue persists.
The recall indicates a potential issue that may require rescan, but the images rotate without distortion and anatomical positioning remains correct. This is not a safety hazard that causes injury.
