GE Anesthesia Systems Base Cracking and Fall Hazard Recalled

GE Healthcare anesthesia systems may develop cracks in the base, potentially causing the device to tip and fall. The FDA recalled 667 units distributed across multiple U.S. states and countries.

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 is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with a structural defect (cracking base) that could cause the system to tip or fall and result in injury. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, and the hazard is potential rather than documented.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare has recalled Avance CS2, Avance CS2 Pro, and Aisys CS2 anesthesia systems due to a structural hazard affecting 667 devices.

The base of these anesthesia systems can develop cracks and potentially fracture. If the base fails, the system may tip or overbalance, creating a risk that the device could fall and injure patients or staff.

The recalled systems were distributed to hospitals and anesthesia facilities in 28 U.S. states and to military locations, as well as internationally. This is an FDA Class II recall.
