GE Healthcare Japan recalls Optima CT660 CT scanners sold outside the U.S. due to potential damaged cable exposing 120VAC to service engineers inside the gantry.
GE Healthcare has identified that some CT systems may have a damaged cable that can expose 120VAC to Service Engineers working inside the gantry.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain Optima CT660 CT scanners sold outside the U.S. because some models have a damaged cable that could expose service engineers to 120VAC electricity while working inside the gantry.
The damaged cable in some CT660 systems can expose 120VAC electricity to service engineers when they work inside the gantry. This poses an electrical hazard during maintenance operations.
Service engineers working inside the gantry of the recalled CT scanners are at risk. The recall applies to specific models sold outside the U.S. only.
Check for the product names listed in the recall notice (e.g., CT OPTIMA 660, OPTIMA CT660) and the specific serial numbers or model numbers provided in the record.
If you are a service engineer working inside the gantry, stop using the affected CT660 scanner immediately.
No, these CT scanners were sold only outside the U.S. as stated in the recall notice.
The recall notice does not specify a remedy for consumers. Service engineers should stop using the scanner immediately if they work inside the gantry.
Check the product names and serial numbers listed in the recall notice to see if your scanner matches the affected models.
