Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare is recalling 4,053 units of Precision 500D and Advantx Legacy/Legacy-D Radiographic and Fluoroscopic Systems. These devices are used for diagnostic imaging and support patients during radiological procedures.
The recall is due to a defect in the SFD/IDD safety mechanism, which may not engage properly at the lower range of travel. This mechanism is designed to hold the equipment and prevent it from falling if a counterweight cable fails. A fall of the SFD/IDD could result in injury to a patient or operator.
The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international countries. Users should contact GE Healthcare for instructions on how to address the defect.
