GE Healthcare recalls Revolution CT systems due to potential radiation dose inaccuracies. Affected units may deliver higher or lower radiation than prescribed, risking patient safety.
GE Healthcare has become aware of a potential issue on the Revolution CT system where a collimator blade does not find its appropriate home position. This issue could result in the delivered dose of x-ray radiation being either larger or smaller than its prescribed value.
GE Healthcare is recalling Revolution CT systems because a collimator blade may not position correctly, potentially delivering too much or too little radiation. This could harm patients during scans.
The collimator blade not finding its proper position can cause the x-ray radiation dose delivered to patients to be higher or lower than intended. This may lead to unnecessary radiation exposure or underdosing during medical imaging.
Patients and medical facilities using the Revolution CT systems are affected. Those performing scans with the recalled units face the highest risk.
Check for the model numbers 5590000, 5590000-6, or 5590000-2 on the Revolution CT system. These units were sold by GE Healthcare.
Identify your Revolution CT system's model number to confirm if it is affected.
Reach out to GE Healthcare for guidance on next steps if your unit is affected.
