GE Healthcare Recalls SIGNA Architect MRI Systems Due to Date Errors
GE Healthcare is recalling SIGNA Architect MRI systems because a potential installation issue may cause incorrect dates to be recorded on medical images.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves inaccurate metadata (dates) on images rather than a direct physical injury or high-risk pathogen, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling 62 SIGNA Architect Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. The recall affects 30 units in the United States and 32 units in other countries, including Australia, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Oman, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
The recall was initiated due to a potential installation workflow issue that could result in the MRI system's date being set incorrectly. Because the system's date and time settings are used to populate the DICOM header information on images, this error could lead to inaccurate dates being recorded on the medical images.
The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the identification of the issue. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
