GE Healthcare Proteus XR/a X-Ray System Missing De-Installation Manual
GE Healthcare's Proteus XR/a stationary X-ray system lacks a required de-installation manual, creating risk of personnel injury during device removal.
What this means for you
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: This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported. The missing de-installation manual creates potential for personnel injury during device removal without proper procedural guidance, fitting the High (3) tier per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare Proteus XR/a stationary X-ray systems (3,572 units distributed worldwide) do not include a de-installation manual that describes the process steps required to safely remove these devices. Proper de-installation procedures must be followed to prevent personnel injuries during the de-installation process.
Healthcare facilities and organizations operating these systems should obtain the de-installation manual from GE Healthcare before attempting to remove or de-install any units. The absence of proper de-installation instructions creates a risk of injury to personnel responsible for device removal.
