GE Healthcare Allia IGS 7 X-ray Systems Adhesive Bolt Failure Recall

GE Healthcare is recalling Allia IGS 7 interventional x-ray systems due to potential adhesive failure on bolts securing the detector and x-ray tube, which could fall during use.

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.

Plain-English summary

GE Healthcare is recalling Allia IGS 7 interventional fluoroscopic x-ray systems due to a potential manufacturing defect involving adhesive application on critical bolts. Adhesive material may not have been properly applied to certain bolts in the frontal gantry assembly of affected units.

If adhesive is inadequate or missing, bolts could loosen and potentially cause the detector/elevator or x-ray tube to fall during operation. This could result in equipment damage and injury to patients and clinical staff.

Six units with this defect have been identified and distributed worldwide, including across the United States and internationally. Affected serial numbers are: D4-23-035, D4-23-036, D4-23-038, D4-23-042, D4-24-001, and D4-24-003.

Healthcare facilities operating these systems should immediately contact GE Healthcare to verify whether their unit is affected and follow manufacturer guidance for inspection and corrective measures.
