GE Healthcare (China) Co., Ltd. is recalling 956 Proteus XR/A radiographic systems because steel cables in the wall stand were not replaced at the required safety intervals. These units were serviced by GE HealthCare but missed the necessary cable replacements detailed in the system's maintenance schedule. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, failing to replace these support cables could lead to mechanical failure of the equipment. Facilities should stop using affected units and contact the manufacturer or an authorized distributor to arrange for required servicing and cable replacement.
If the steel cables in the wall stand are not replaced according to schedule, they may weaken and snap over time. This could cause heavy equipment components to fall suddenly, potentially causing impact injuries to patients or healthcare staff.
Units were not replaced at maintenance intervals detailed in the Preventative Maintenance Action List.
