GE Healthcare recalls specific China-only Revolution Discovery CT operator console upgrades (B80522DA) due to potential image rotation during scans, which may require 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 operator console upgrades for China-only Revolution Discovery CT scanners. These upgrades can cause CT images to rotate progressively during scans, potentially requiring a rescan if rotation is noticed. This issue affects the accuracy of images in helical, cine, and cardiac scans.
The operator console upgrade (B80522DA) causes CT images to rotate progressively after the first scan image. This rotation increases with scan duration and gantry speed, potentially rotating up to 56 degrees. The rotation affects the entire anatomy uniformly but may require rescans if noticed.
CT scanner users in China with specific serial numbers 5476353, 5472107, or 5472476. Patients undergoing scans on these systems may need rescans if image rotation is noticed.
Check if your Revolution Discovery CT scanner has the operator console upgrade with spare parts number B80522DA. Affected units have serial numbers 5476353, 5472107, or 5472476 and were sold in China.
If you notice CT images rotating progressively during scans, especially in helical, cine, or cardiac modes, the system may need a rescan.
GE Healthcare has identified that certain operator console upgrades (B80522DA) can cause progressive image rotation during scans, which may require rescans.
Check if your Revolution Discovery CT scanner has the operator console upgrade with spare parts number B80522DA and serial numbers 5476353, 5472107, or 5472476.
No, the recall does not require stopping use. However, if image rotation is noticed, a rescan may be needed.
