GE Healthcare Recalls Brivo XR385 Digital Radiographic Systems

GE Healthcare is recalling 58 Brivo XR385 digital radiographic systems because placing weight on the detector can cause image artifacts, leading to patient exam retakes.

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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the hazard results in image artifacts and exam retakes without reporting any injuries or illnesses. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary measures where harm has not been reported.
