GE Healthcare recalls Revolution EVO, Optima CT660, and Optima CT680 CT systems due to potential increased X-ray radiation exposure from software options. Affected units have specific hardware codes.
Improperly loaded software options may result in additional X -ray radiation exposure to the patient.
GE Healthcare is recalling three types of CT scanners because software issues might expose patients to extra X-ray radiation. This could mean higher radiation doses during scans, which is a health risk.
The scanners may have software that causes additional X-ray radiation exposure to patients during scans. This happens when the software options are not loaded correctly, potentially increasing radiation dose without the user realizing it.
Patients using these CT scanners for medical imaging may be at risk if the software options are improperly loaded. Healthcare facilities that own or operate these systems are most affected.
Check the hardware code on the scanner's label. Affected models include Revolution EVO (14HW17.4, 15HW13.7), Optima CT660 (12HW28.8, 14HW30.3, 15HW25.2, 13HW38.14, 15HW13.7), and Optima CT680 (13HW38.14, 15BW21.2).
Look for the hardware code on the scanner's label to determine if it's affected.
