GE Healthcare Recalls Innova 2100IQ Angiographic X-ray Systems

GE Healthcare is recalling 13 Innova 2100IQ angiographic X-ray systems due to a potential safety issue that may cause the loss of C-arm gantry motion capability.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the loss of motion capability could impact patient safety, but no specific injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
