Why these products were recalled

GE HealthCare has become aware of the potential that incorrect torque has been applied to certain bolts of the Definium Tempo and Definium Tempo Pro products which may result in a potential fall of elements of the Overhead Tube Suspension (OTS) assembly.

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.
