GE Healthcare Recalls Discovery NM/CT 670 CZT Systems for Mounting Defect
GE Healthcare is recalling three Discovery NM/CT 670 CZT systems because detector screws may not be secured correctly, potentially compromising detector mounting redundancy.
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, which typically corresponds to a moderate severity score when no injuries or illnesses are reported and the hazard is a mechanical defect rather than a direct health threat.
