Reason for recall
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of an issue on the affected products listed below where the "Patient Orientation" button may inadvertently be clicked when intending to click on the "Save RX" button. This changes the prescribed patient orientation on the system prior to running the initial 3-Plane Localizer Scan (See Figure 1 for reference to buttons.) Selecting and saving a patient orientation that does not match the patient's actual position may result in incorrectly annotated and/or flipped images.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
