GE Healthcare Nuclear Medicine Systems Detector Fall Risk from Improper Transport
GE Healthcare recalled 116 nuclear medicine imaging systems worldwide due to risk that systems transported without proper detector support could experience detector falls and life-threatening injury.
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: This FDA Class II device recall presents serious hazard (detector fall and life-threatening injury potential) but no reported illnesses or injuries. As a preventive recall of a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, it meets the criteria for High severity.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare recalled 116 nuclear medicine imaging systems worldwide, including Brivo NM 615 and related models. The recall was issued after GE discovered that certain units may have been transported or relocated without proper detector support.
When these systems lack proper detector support during transport or relocation, excessive load can be applied to the detector mounting mechanisms. This can potentially result in detector falls, which pose a risk of life-threatening bodily injury to patients and medical personnel.
Affected models include Infinia, VariCam/VG/VH, Discovery NM 630, Discovery NM/CT 670, and Optima NM/CT 640, in addition to the Brivo NM 615.
