Plain-English summary
GE OEC Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling 1,933 units of the OEC 6800 Miniview, an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system used during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures. The device is designed to provide physicians with general fluoroscopic visualization of patients, including for surgical orthopedic and extremity imaging, but is not intended for whole-body pediatric imaging.
The recall was initiated due to several intermittent potential safety issues, including navigation tracking inaccuracy, system lock-ups, incorrect image display, and incorrect dose area calculated air kerma in "film mode." The source text notes that this is not a new recall; the firm took action in November 2006, but the recall is now being classified by the FDA due to administrative issues.
The affected units were distributed worldwide. The source text does not specify the corrective action taken by the firm or provide specific instructions for consumers or healthcare facilities beyond the recall classification.
