Signa Voyager MRI recalled where patient table caster lock checks unconfirmed

GE HealthCare is recalling 280 Signa Voyager MRI systems because the planned maintenance step that checks the patient table caster locks may not have been performed.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 2 covers voluntary precautionary actions; the notice describes an unconfirmed maintenance step rather than a device defect, and reports no injuries.
