GE Healthcare (China) Co., Ltd. has recalled 3,572 Proteus XR/a stationary X-Ray systems because they were distributed without a de-installation manual. Without these specific step-by-step instructions, service personnel or technicians may perform the de-installation incorrectly, which can lead to physical injury during the removal process. These professional medical devices were manufactured in China and distributed worldwide. If you are a healthcare provider using this system, contact the manufacturer to obtain the necessary safety documentation before attempting any equipment removal.
The lack of proper de-installation instructions creates a physical hazard where technicians may accidentally release mechanical tension or encounter heavy components unexpectedly, leading to serious personnel injury during the de-installation process.
