GE Healthcare Recalls Innova 4100IQ Fluoroscopic Imaging Systems

GE Healthcare is recalling six Innova 4100IQ fluoroscopic systems due to a defect that may cause loss of real-time imaging or gantry motion.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device where a functional failure (loss of imaging/motion) poses a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling six units of the Innova 4100IQ fluoroscopic imaging system. These devices are indicated for use in generating fluoroscopic images of human anatomy for vascular angiography, diagnostic and interventional procedures, and optionally, rotational imaging procedures.

The recall is being conducted because the devices may experience a loss of real-time interventional imaging and/or gantry motion. This issue is attributed to the electromagnetic (EM) sensitivity of the grid detection mechanism.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (California, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, and Pennsylvania) and in Belgium, China, Colombia, France, Greece, Mexico, and Russia. Users of these devices should contact GE Healthcare for further instructions on how to address the defect.
