GE Medical Systems is recalling approximately 5,986 Venue Go Standard Carts because the internal mechanism that adjusts the screen tilt can fail. This defect can cause the Venue Go ultrasound system to detach from the cart and fall, potentially hitting patients or healthcare workers. The recalled carts were manufactured in August 2022 and earlier and are used with Venue Go R2, R3, and R4 pulsed doppler imaging systems.
The vertical and horizontal tilt adjustment mechanism can break internally, causing the heavy ultrasound system to suddenly disconnect and drop from its mounting. This poses a significant risk of impact injuries to anyone near the cart or damage to the medical equipment itself.
