Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare has recalled certain Discovery NM/CT 670 PRO nuclear medicine imaging systems and related models used in medical facilities for diagnostic imaging procedures. A total of 283 units have been identified in this recall, distributed worldwide.

The systems could have been transported or relocated during manufacturing or installation without proper detector support. This can result in excessive load being applied to the detector mounting mechanisms, potentially causing the detector to fall. A falling detector poses a risk of life-threatening bodily injury to personnel working with or in proximity to the equipment.

Healthcare facilities using these systems should immediately verify whether their equipment is among the recalled units by checking the system model and serial numbers listed in the recall notice. Any facility with an affected system should stop using the equipment and contact GE Healthcare for further instructions and support options.
