GE Healthcare recalls Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, and Revolution CT with Apex edition CT scanners due to potential overdisplay of radiation dose during interventional exams with SmartStep.
The accumulated dose is incorrectly displayed in certain situations. Thisoccurs during an interventional exam using the SmartStep option if the table height is adjusted after the exam starts. In this situation, the SmartStep display will show a value that is higher (up to 100 times) than the actual dose delivered.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain CT scanners because they may incorrectly show a much higher radiation dose than actually delivered during specific interventional exams. This could lead to unnecessary radiation exposure for patients if the dose is misinterpreted by medical staff.
The CT scanner's SmartStep display may show up to 100 times the actual radiation dose delivered when the table height is adjusted after an exam starts. This incorrect display could lead to unnecessary radiation exposure if medical staff rely on the displayed value.
Healthcare facilities using GE Healthcare's Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, or Revolution CT with Apex edition CT scanners are affected. Medical staff and patients using these systems during interventional exams with SmartStep may be at risk.
Check if your CT scanner model is Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, or Revolution CT with Apex edition. These systems were sold with SmartStep option for interventional exams.
Identify your CT scanner model to confirm if it is one of the recalled Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, or Revolution CT with Apex edition models.
The recall is due to the CT scanner's SmartStep display showing up to 100 times the actual radiation dose during specific interventional exams when the table height is adjusted after the exam starts.
Patients may receive unnecessary radiation exposure if medical staff rely on the incorrectly displayed dose value during interventional exams.
