What happened, in plain English

GE Healthcare is recalling certain Discovery IQ 2.0 20cm CT scanners that may have improper wiring to the UPS power supply. This could lead to system failure during power outages, but the recall does not specify a risk of injury.

Why it’s dangerous

The CT systems may not be properly connected to the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) when installed with GE's A! electrical panel. This could cause the system to fail during power outages, potentially disrupting imaging operations but not causing injury.

Who’s affected

Healthcare facilities that installed the Discovery IQ 2.0 20cm CT systems with the specified model numbers. Medical staff and patients using these systems are at low risk as the hazard does not involve injury.
