GE Healthcare recalls Proteus XR/a stationary radiographic systems due to intermittent failure to provide audible exposure indication after imaging. Affected units may not alert users to completed exposures, potentially leading to safety risks during medical procedures.
Intermittently not receiving an audible exposure indication upon completion of an exposure on the Proteus stationary radiographic system.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain Proteus XR/a stationary radiographic systems because they sometimes fail to provide an audible alert when an exposure is completed. This could mean medical staff don't know when an X-ray has finished, which might cause safety issues during procedures.
The system occasionally stops giving an audible signal that an X-ray exposure has been completed. Without this alert, medical personnel might not know when the procedure is finished, which could lead to safety risks like unnecessary re-exposures or delays in patient care.
Medical facilities using the Proteus XR/a systems with specific console or spare part numbers are affected. Staff performing X-ray procedures are most at risk due to potential missed exposure alerts.
Check if your Proteus XR/a system has console part number 5441870 or spare part numbers 5462233, 5462233-R, 5761170, or 5462233-H. These part numbers were used in the affected units sold between 2019 and 2021.
