The Discovery IGS and Innova IGS systems may experience X-ray abort errors which could result in the loss of imaging mode before or during fluoroscopic use.
GE Medical Systems is recalling certain Discovery IGS 730 Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray Systems because they may experience X-ray abort errors that could cause imaging to stop unexpectedly during procedures. This risk could lead to incomplete medical imaging and potential patient safety issues if not addressed.
The X-ray abort errors can cause the imaging system to lose its imaging mode before or during fluoroscopic use, potentially leading to incomplete medical imaging. This could result in missed diagnoses or complications if the procedure requires continuous imaging.
Healthcare providers using the Discovery IGS 730 Interventional Fluoroscopic X-ray Systems are most at risk, particularly those performing procedures requiring continuous imaging. Patients undergoing these procedures may also be affected if imaging is interrupted.
Check for the model number 5730890 or specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice, including system IDs like 00000D3-17-030 through 00000D3-18-005. The systems were sold with these identifiers starting from 2017 to 2018.
