Why these products were recalled

GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a Reformat Image Flip Issue associated with GE MR Products. The axial and coronal reformatted images from a sagittal 3D series (such as with applications of FSPGR-3D T1, BRAVO T1, or CUBE T1) of over 126 slices may display a left-to-right image flip . In addition, the acquired sagittal images may be annotated with left-right location annotation revers

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
