GE Healthcare recalls PET/CT imaging systems that may expose patients to unnecessary X-ray radiation during scans without stopping. Affected models were sold for head and whole body PET/CT imaging.
GE Healthcare PET/CT Table Stop Without Stopping X-Ray Exposure
GE Healthcare is recalling certain PET/CT imaging systems that may continue exposing patients to X-ray radiation during scans without stopping. This could lead to unnecessary radiation exposure for patients undergoing imaging procedures.
The systems may continue emitting X-ray radiation during scans without stopping, which could expose patients to unnecessary radiation. This risk occurs because the X-ray exposure continues even when the system is supposed to stop after completing a scan.
Patients undergoing PET/CT scans at facilities using the recalled systems. Medical staff operating the equipment are also at risk due to potential radiation exposure.
The recalled systems are GE Healthcare's Discovery Ml PET/CT imaging devices used for head and whole body attenuation corrected Positron Emission Tomography scans. These were sold for medical imaging purposes starting from when the systems were manufactured.
Look for the model number on the system's label or documentation to confirm if it's a recalled Discovery Ml PET/CT device.
Reach out to the medical facility where the system is installed to confirm if they are affected by this recall and what steps they are taking.
