GE Healthcare recalls Proteus XR/a stationary X-Ray Systems (models 2259973, 2259988, 2266999, etc.) due to missing de-installation instructions that could cause injury during removal.
The XR system, Proteus XR/a, does not have a de-installation manual describing process steps for de-installing the devices. De-installation instruction process steps must be followed when de-installing these devices to avoid personnel injury during de-install.
GE Healthcare is recalling several models of Proteus XR/a stationary X-Ray systems because they lack a de-installation manual. This means users could risk injury if they attempt to remove these devices without proper instructions.
The hazard comes from the absence of a de-installation manual. Without clear instructions, personnel could face injury during the removal process of these X-Ray systems. This is a procedural risk rather than a direct physical hazard.
Users of GE Healthcare Proteus XR/a stationary X-Ray systems with model numbers listed in the recall (e.g., 2259973, 2259988, 2266999) are affected. Medical facilities and technicians who use these systems are most at risk.
Check if your X-Ray system has a model number from the list provided in the recall (e.g., 2259973, 2259988, 2266999). The system may also have a unique identifier like 'System ID Numbers' listed in the recall details.
Look for the model number on your X-Ray system, which should match one of the listed numbers (e.g., 2259973, 2259988, 2266999).
If you have the model number, consult the official recall notice for de-installation instructions to avoid injury during removal.
No, the recall does not require immediate stoppage. Users can continue using the system as long as they follow the de-installation instructions provided in the recall notice.
