GE Healthcare recalls Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI scanners that may produce flipped or incorrect patient images if the Patient Orientation button is accidentally clicked instead of Save RX.
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of an issue on the affected products listed below where the "Patient Orientation" button may inadvertently be clicked when intending to click on the "Save RX" button. This changes the prescribed patient orientation on the system prior to running the initial 3-Plane Localizer Scan (See Figure 1 for reference to buttons.) Selecting and saving a patient orientation that does not match the patient's actual position may result in incorrectly annotated and/or flipped images.
GE Healthcare is recalling its Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI scanners because a button error can cause patient images to be flipped or incorrectly annotated. This could lead to misdiagnosis if medical staff rely on the images without noticing the error.
The scanner's "Patient Orientation" button may be accidentally clicked instead of the "Save RX" button. This changes the patient's orientation settings before the initial scan, causing images to be flipped or mislabeled. If not caught, these errors could lead to incorrect medical interpretations.
Medical facilities using GE Healthcare's Discovery MR750 3.0T MRI scanners are affected. Staff performing scans are most at risk of misdiagnosis if they don't notice the image error.
Check if your scanner has the model name "Discovery MR750 3.0T". The issue occurs when the "Patient Orientation" button is clicked by mistake during scan setup.
Ensure the "Patient Orientation" button is not accidentally clicked when selecting "Save RX" during scan setup.
The recall does not mention any risk of injury; the hazard is limited to potential image misinterpretation.
The affected scanners are GE Healthcare's Discovery MR750 3.0T models. Check if the "Patient Orientation" button is clicked by mistake during scan setup.
The recall does not provide a remedy; users must check button functionality to avoid accidental clicks.
