GE Healthcare recalls Revolution CT 160 1.5D STD WAUK CT scanners with improper electrical wiring to UPS systems. Affected units may have safety risks during power outages.
Some CT and CT/PET systems recently installed with a GE supplied A! electrical panel may not be properly wired to the partial system UPS (Uninteruptible Power Supply).
GE Healthcare is recalling specific models of Revolution CT 160 1.5D STD WAUK CT scanners that may not be properly wired to the UPS system. This could cause safety issues during power outages, potentially leading to equipment damage or safety hazards.
The CT scanners may not be properly connected to the UPS system, which provides backup power during outages. If the connection is faulty, the equipment could malfunction or shut down unexpectedly during power interruptions.
Healthcare facilities that installed these CT scanners with GE's A! electrical panels are likely affected. Medical staff and patients using the equipment during power outages are at risk.
Check for the model number 5590000-6 on the scanner. Look for serial numbers starting with REVVX1800004CN or REVVX1800021CN. These units were sold with GE's A! electrical panels.
Identify the serial number on the scanner's label to confirm if it matches the affected models.
