Manufacturer
124 recalls in our database name GE Medical Systems, LLC as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
A software error in GE SIGNA Hero MRI systems can cause overheating of MR conditional implants under specific conditions. The recall affects 95 units distributed worldwide.
GE HealthCare is recalling certain MR750 MRI systems with specific software versions. When using particular imaging sequences in Low SAR Mode without the Optimized T2 FLAIR option, the radiofrequency field can exceed safe limits, risking overheating of MR-conditional implants.
GE MR450w 1.5T MRI systems may overheat MR-conditional implants when using specific imaging sequences with Low SAR Mode. No injuries reported; 1,607 units affected worldwide.
GE SIGNA Voyager MRI systems may exceed prescribed radiofrequency limits under specific operating conditions, risking overheating of MR conditional implants. The issue occurs with certain imaging sequences when the Optimized T2 FLAIR option is disabled.
GE HealthCare recalled certain SIGNA Creator MRI systems due to a software defect where the predicted magnetic field strength can exceed prescribed limits in Low SAR Mode with specific imaging sequences, potentially causing overheating of MR-conditional implants.
GE HealthCare recalled SIGNA PET/MR systems with specific software versions due to a configuration issue that can cause RF energy to exceed safety limits, potentially overheating MR-conditional implants.
GE Medical Systems recalled 2,146 SIGNA 1.5T MR systems that may overheat implants during certain imaging sequences in Low SAR mode due to a software defect in radiofrequency safety calculations.
GE SIGNA MR380 MRI systems with software versions SV25.5 or SV25.6 may exceed radiofrequency heating limits during certain imaging sequences, potentially causing MR-conditional implants to overheat. The issue occurs in Low SAR Mode when specific T2 FLAIR sequences are used with the Optimized T2 FLAIR option disabled.
GE HealthCare has recalled certain Brivo MR355 MRI systems due to a software issue that can cause overheating of implanted medical devices in specific imaging scenarios. Approximately 375 units have been affected worldwide.
GE Medical Systems is recalling Vivid S5 ultrasound systems because batteries may fail if not replaced at the recommended 2-year intervals, potentially causing smoke or fire.
GE Vivid S6 ultrasound systems are recalled for a potential battery hazard. If not replaced at the recommended 2-year interval, batteries may fail, emit smoke, or catch fire.
GE Medical Systems is recalling Vivid q N ultrasound systems due to potential battery failures that could emit smoke or catch fire if batteries are not replaced per the 2-year service manual recommendation.
GE Medical Systems is recalling B105M patient monitors that display inaccurate CO2 readings when used at elevations above sea level. The issue affects monitors showing CO2 in mmHg or kPa units.
GE Medical Systems recalls Vivid i N ultrasound machines worldwide because unreplaced batteries may fail, emit smoke, or catch fire. Users should replace batteries every 2 years per the service manual.
GE is recalling B125P patient monitors because CO2 measurements may be inaccurate when used at non-sea-level altitudes in mmHg or kPa mode.
GE Vivid S6 N ultrasound systems may experience battery failure, smoke, or fire if batteries are not replaced every 2 years as recommended. Clinicians should replace batteries per manufacturer Service Manual instructions.
After installing the IAS tool, Centricity PACS-IW Universal Viewer version 5.0 may hide some medical imaging studies without notification. Accessing hidden studies requires GE Healthcare assistance and may cause diagnostic delays.
GE B125M patient monitors may display inaccurate CO2 measurements at high elevations when using mmHg or kPa units. Measurement accuracy can be affected in locations significantly above sea level.
GE Medical Systems recalled 1,400 Vivid S5 N ultrasound systems for batteries that may fail, emit smoke, or catch fire if not replaced every 2 years as recommended.
GE is recalling Vivid q ultrasound systems because batteries not replaced every 2 years as recommended may fail and emit smoke or catch fire.
GE Medical Systems' Centricity Universal Viewer 6.0 image display software may hide medical studies from users after IAS tool installation, requiring GE assistance to access hidden images and causing delays in reading diagnostic studies.
GE Healthcare is recalling B125M patient monitors because the CO2 measurement display can be inaccurate at locations above sea level when configured for mmHg or kPa units.
GE Medical Systems is recalling Vivid i ultrasound systems because batteries not replaced every two years may fail, emit smoke, or catch fire. About 7,931 units were distributed worldwide.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain B105P patient monitors because they may display inaccurate CO2 measurements when used in locations not at or near sea level with mmHg or kPa units selected.
